Twenty-eight years ago Elaine Moore and I shared a classroom at Peterson Elementary in Council Bluffs. I was teaching 6th grade at the time and Elaine was a first year teacher, teaching Title I Reading. Today we had the opportunity to reconnect and reminisce of that small neighborhood school on the south end of Council Bluffs (which is now an AEA center) and all the years that had escaped us. Elaine taught just one year in Council Bluffs before returning home to marry her High School sweetheart (who is an Elementary Media Specialist in Cedar Falls). She has continued her teaching career to this day in Waterloo.
I got to share a favorite read aloud with Elaine's 4th grade students at Edison Elementary before the end of their school day. This evening, Elaine and I had the chance to share a meal and catch up on the last 27 years. I'm so grateful that Elaine continues to teach, her student's lives are richer because of her!
