Dedicated to Mama Knapp, this is a quick, unplanned episode. Thanks to all the amazing Moms who helped with this one!

Two poems (one kinda bad and one kinda good) are included. The second one references this Paul Harvey Speech, "So God made a Farmer".

Happy Mothers Day!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Special Guest: Senorita Karen Cunningham Eisenhauer, Spanish Teacher at Central Dauphin High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Alli and Karen take a stroll down memory lane, discussing the magic of room 209 and the unique synergy of Alli's tenth grade Spanish 2 class. Karen discusses her approach to meeting students where they are at, utilizing technology in the new age classroom and how she creates a safe space for each child that walks in her room. While difficult to find the words, Alli attempts to explain the depth of their gratitude for Senorita Eisenhauer and the role she played in their life. This is the first episode of Goodness, Gracias, Great Talks of Gratitude, a podcast produced by ⁠achestnap collaborative⁠ and part of the initiative "33 is Gratitude"The tech will show significant improvement for episode two.

Central Dauphin High School has been approved to get a therapy dog, but they need to raise $20,000+ to get the pupper. Consider donating to their efforts. Click here to find answers to FAQs. Click here to donate.
