Words are not enough...

...to express the gratitude and honor I have had teaching six 6th-8th graders at my homeschool co-op. It has been a joy to be with them.

Here is a poem that one of my students, Hannah, wrote. They presented it to me with all their names signed on it. Thanks guys, I had a blast!

We learned a lot in cooking class
But now we must move on - alas!
It was fun but now it's done
Thanks a lot for teaching us

The five second rule does not exist
And "Wash your hands!" is on the list
All these health rules are helpful tools
Thanks a lot for teaching us

We made brownies and oatmeal
Granola bars and wraps. We feel
They all were best, you passed the test
Thanks a lot for teaching us

You told us just what healthy means
It's not about how you are seen
But about your lifestyle and a happy smile
Thanks a lot for teaching us

We appreciate all your time
And that is why we wrote this rhyme
It was fun, but now it's done
Thanks a lot for teaching us
