3: My Early School Years

In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout has early memories of school that resulted in some painful reflections.  Unlike Scout, I always enjoyed school...loved those years.  Take a journey with me back in time...to Mammoth Spring Elementary School...where my earliest memories of 40+ years of education all began.

Headstart brings back memories of that then unwanted nap and missing school for about two weeks.

First grade...sitting on the back row...

Second grade...Mrs. Estes...

Third grade...overhearing my teacher talking about my test scores in the hallway to another teacher...

Fouth grade...Mrs. McMillian...

Fifth grade..."You can do this.  None of my kids accomplished this, but you can."

Sixth grade...Mrs. King...
