This girl was once my 1st grader.
Around Thanksgiving, we make homemade butter in class. The year she was with me, she and her classmates yelled, "Churn that butter, baby!" as they shook the mason jar full of heavy cream.
We laughed and kept shaking that jar together for seemingly forever. We eventually had butter.
The phrase became a term for hard work. And we said it over and over again. I still say it.
Today, we reminisced while I was taking her family's photos. She remembered and she smiled and talked about how happy that experience was for her.
So, I'll keep going for moments like this.
Teaching is hard work but I know it's so important. ❤️
Churn that butter, baby!
