Grandmother Sinclair's Diary - an ongoing project in blog form....
Old Teachers Never Die
This humorous account of her life as a teacher is my first venture into the world of creative non-fiction. Please contact Mary if you are interested in a copy... Copies are also available at Goward House.
"Missus B," as her students call her, counts a number of small animals, a tank of fish and a canary among her classroom inhabitants.
The mix of children and animals results in entertaining and unique situations! Each chapter deals with one month of the school year. The stories will have readers laughing as they are reminded of those "good old school days."
Several excerpts have been also published by the Alberta Teacher's Magazine (ATA) including:
- "Why did the Chicken Cross the Road?" The ATA Magazine 90(3) Spring 2010:33-35.
- "Rinse the Blood off the Adjudicator" The ATA Magazine.
- "My First Principal" The ATA Newspaper.
