Appreciating teachers
For Teacher Appreciation Week, Stillwater NewsPress is recognizing teachers who have positively impacted readers’ lives. Here’s what several readers had to say:
Appreciating Anita Hauf:
Mrs. Hauf rocks! She is a second-grade teacher at Will Rogers Elementary. She has taught me in both first and second grade.
She taught me how to pronounce words correctly and what they mean. She let us raise caterpillars that turned into Painted Lady Butterflies. She understands when you’re hurt. She makes you happy when you’re sad.
She lets us have popcorn parties as a reward for being good. She’s had lots of student teachers because that’s how good she is.
We got to have a young authors fair. We wrote a book and spent lots of time illustrating it. Then we looked at each other’s books and read them to the parents of my friends.
Mrs. HAUF IS A ROCK STAR!! She makes learning fun!
I’m going to miss her next year.

Jonathan sends along this note....
As you have probably heard, Pontotoc county has had the first Oklahoma
case of swine flu. That is right, right here in Ada in fact.
What is really sad is that you get the impression from some around
here like it was a race and it is a good thing. That just confuses me.
Anyway, Randi, me and the kids are all OK so far, so it wasn't us.
But nobody is saying who it was, but supposedly, from the health
person at ECU, this person quarantined themselves for 5 days until
the symptoms passed. So maybe it didn't spread much. But we will know
more as the next 3-4 days go by.
