In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10, BookSparksPR is teaming with bestselling author of Love and Other Subjects Kathleen Shoop for a fabulous Pottery Barn giveaway and flashback to your classroom drama! Part of our Summer Reading Challenge, Love and Other Subjects is for any woman who wondered if she chose the right career… the trials and tribulations of a first-year teacher in an inner-city school whose suburban upbringing is no match for weapon-wielding students, drug-using colleagues and a wicked principal. With poverty-stricken children at her feet and a wealthy man at her side, she must define who she is.
To enter to win a $50 Pottery Barn gift card (We love their selection of chalkboards!), it’s as easy as ABC:
– Check our Facebook page daily this week and answer our teacher-related questions. TODAY’S QUESTION: Who was your favorite teacher and why? No need for a novella—you can keep your responses brief!
– Get Love and Other Subjects—just $2.99 for your e-reader!
– Tweet and share Love and Other Subjects, tagging @BookSparksPR and #thankateacher
We’ll announce the lucky Pottery Barn gift card winner Friday. Any questions? Just raise your hand.
My kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Lavis. I found out, as an adult, that she was a special education teacher and that I was in her class because there was no room for me in the other classes. Mrs. Lavis never made any of us feel different and treated us as equals. This is how I treat my own students, that everyone has talents and we just have to find it.
