Jack and the Beanstalk

This is wonderful if you have 5 minutes to watch:

Jack and the Beanstalk- as told by a two year old


And here's a sweet story I read in the newspaper yesterday:

Former student finds beloved teacher — at her convocation

I had an English teacher that told us to read, read, read. No matter what it was, just read. I have always remembered that. The child video is amazing.I've never seen one that could remember all that. My grandson just turned 4. He told me every time he got out of the car at my house for six months that he was going to be 4. We had his birthday party here. When he got out of the car for his party, the first thing he said was, "Nana, I'm 4 now!" Cracked me up. Have a great weekend and thanks for coming by.

Thank you for sharing a positive teacher story. You can see, from reader comments, that despite people having umpteen teachers from K to gr. 12, they only remember the bad ones.
I burned out.
No wonder.

Judy that's a cute story about your grandson.

Valerie, he's a smart kid for sure.

Jenn it's terrible if they only remember the bad ones. My daughter has 2 or 3 memorable teachers throughout her young life so far.

That was the cutest and most enjoyable Jack & The Beanstalk story I have ever heard!

On my graduation day, as I was coming down the podium to return to my seat, a lady stood up and came to me and started hugging me and it was my junior low headmistress, I was glad I recognised her and hugged her, and thanked her. I was surprised she recognised me. Maybe it was my unusual name.

What an amazing and bright 2 year old boy.
His Jack and the Beanstalk recital was so gorgeous.
You find such interesting videos Christine!
