Hey, its Bossy’s Daughter here, with a special guest post shout out to her favorite teacher on her birthday:
Bossy’s daughter had this particular teacher last year for social studies, but they’ve known each other a lot longer because this particular teacher also acts and directs and produces plays at the local theater. This particular favorite teacher is such a great person. Not only is she engaging, funny, and smart, she is also the greatest singer you will ever hear.
In school, she taught us in a very captivating way, and we would have tons of fun. Warning, though: you don’t want to hear her cranky voice. (haha)
Bossy’s daughter can sum up her favorite teacher in this way: She would engage the class in every shape and form.
Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about. In exactly ten words, can you tell Bossy’s Daughter about your favorite teacher, and why?
And be sure to check back later today for the greatest teachers on the web.
If you missed last week’s challenge, click here to read about the various extra curricular activities that Bossy’s council participated in over the years, described with creative ten word brevity, of course.
