About a month ago I nominated my son’s 2nd grade teacher for a twin cities radio station’s “Teacher of the Week”. Imagine my surprise when the radio station called this morning to inform me that Mr. Erdman was chosen!
Early tomorrow morning they will call to record an interview with me and then at 8:40 AM they will talk to Mr. Erdman live on the radio from his classroom!
I can’t think of teacher more deserving of recognition than Mr. E. He’s taught the second grade to three of my children now and at the end of the year, they have all been in tears having to say goodbye for the summer.
Mr. E is the type of guy who promises to stand on his desk and sing songs if the class can gather 75 items for the local foodshelf. Every Friday he sends home a calendar of events for the upcoming week and always attaches encouraging stories for parents. He makes everyone he comes in contact with feel like the most important person in the world.
And yes, I’m practicing here what I am going to say tomorrow. I’m a little nervous. KS95 is a huge station in our area and I’m just praying I don’t burst out into a Fran Drescher laugh or come down with a massive sinus infection in the next 12 hours.
If you have nothing better to do, KS95’s site can be found here. There’s a link to listen live.
