Books, Balls, & Squirrel Paws: My 30 Years in Education (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798330566594)

Step into the classroom with Mike Rodgers, an educator whose three-decade journey brings together the funny, the heartfelt, and the timeless moments that define a life in teaching. From the final bell's satisfying ring to the laughter that fills hallways, Mike's stories capture the essence of school-a place where friendships bloom, memories are made, and the quirks of every unique teacher shape each student's experience.

In Books, Balls, and Squirrel Paws, you'll meet the memorable characters of Mike's teaching life: the young, cool teacher every student wants to know, the quiet yet humorous mentor who inspires with ease, and the sweet, grandmotherly figure who finds a way to love each student just as they are. Through the eyes of a teacher, explore the joys, challenges, and quiet triumphs that make up a career devoted to education.

This collection is for anyone who's ever set foot in a school, whether as a student or teacher. It's a chance to recall your own school days, see how classrooms have evolved, and perhaps gain a newfound respect for the unsung heroes who shape lives one lesson at a time. Let these stories take you back-and give you a fresh look at the dedication and heart that go into teaching.

This a book for teachers, students, administrators, and anyone in the education system.
