I had a grade 4 teacher in Woodstock, NB. We called her Ms. Warner. She was only there a few months and rumour was she left because she made too much noise after school teaching a few of us to do Highland dancing. It was a very old school, called Broadway I believe, with wooden floors and our classroom was probably 4 feet lower than the grade 5 classroom beside us and there weren’t any walls. Could I be remembering this correctly? We all thought she was amazing until she was gone. One thing she did specifically for me was introduce me to Miss Alice Tilley who had to be in her 80’s. I was obsessed with birds for some reason and it came out through everything I did so Miss Warner knew. Miss Tilley had a beautiful book about birds and every Tuesday, after school, I would visit her and she would talk to me about birds, make the bird calls perfectly, and share a treat of some sort. I was in awe of her knowledge even then. It would have been around 1970. Thank you for bringing this memory, almost instantaneously back to me. As said, many other women inspire me still but then, I was in heaven with these 2 women who didn’t need to do anything for me.
