Kristi was just the kind of mentor teacher you described...and even though my professors and the principal encouraged her to leave it all in my hands, she stayed in the classroom and I really appreciated all her great feedback. Even though we don't teach at the same school anymore, I still call and bounce things off her whenever possible. I hope I will someday be the kind of mentor teacher you (and she) are (is). :-)<br /><br />CrystalTeaching Little Miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694650140067870645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-16071761512140606222014-07-05T11:36:50.504-07:002014-07-05T11:36:50.504-07:00I had my first intern this past year and it was an...I had my first intern this past year and it was an abundant blessing for both of us.
