A Teacher's Funeral

Those of us in the M.A.T. program have been assigned a book to read and reflect on. While I enjoy reading, sometimes it takes me a while to really get into a book. However, A Teacher's Funeral was easy to jump into each time I began to read. The book follows a family and group of students as they learn lessons of life and the rewards of school. As a new teacher, the book was inspiring and gave me a deeper insight into how each of my students are different in their backgrounds.
