Hi, Doris Jeanne!
You have had an interesting life! Please don't apologize; you got 7 reactions, so at least 7 of us are interested in what you write : ) !
I'm sorry it took me a few days to reply. I'm back in physical therapy, and it wears me out. It's good but exhausting.
What was the mountain top school like? (I am a retired teacher, too, but always in a suburban school. I loved it, but I had to leave because of illness.) How many students? How many teachers?
I agree with your neighbor! Write it down!
Anne

annewoodmayo; thank you for your interest! As for the small school: I loved it, except for the pay: one of the lowest in the state, but an excellent retirement program!
I had a varied size of students each year; both 5th and 6th grades. Largest was about 28 and smallest was 12 (only 2 in 6th that year.
I taught all subjects, combining only science, art, music. I used 5th Science book one year and 6th the next, since students were same usually. Couldn't do that in Math, language arts, social studies.
I retired at 60, as my husband (COPD) had open heart surgery , then lung surgery the next year. I didn't know how long he had, but he lived til 2014...17 more years! THANK GOD!!
