L. Dixon
I was so sorry to hear of her passing.
I was her 2nd grade student at Deneen public school in Chicago.
She was awesome!! But she was stern: we had to know our times tables up to 11 and also had to learn the meaning of words and how to spell them such as (and I'll never forget it) "sesquicentennial".... IN 2ND GRADE!!:open_mouth:
We could not go out to recess until we learned those tables!! When we learned them we got (1) a hug from her (2) a piece of Turtle candy and (3) got to go to recess! ..... I wanted my hug and my candy!!
She saw our potential and elevated several of us to the 4th grade - passing the 3rd grade. She will forever be loved and missed
