She was a petite, older lady by the time we were in her class with her soft short fine hair do.  She inspired us to write short stories.  My best memories were learning about different subjects beecause we would have to later we would have to produce a story book about what we learned of which a few of my choices to learn about were elephants, how to make tooth paste, rockets and about the "sticky haired dog" which turned about to be a lost in translation story of a dog's "tough skin" not sticky skin...because it was short and there was no penetration.  Anyway, the rocket story was my science project that was stolen the next day.  To this day when I think of the different type of Elephants:  Asian/Indian & African elephants, I think of Mrs. Weiner's class and the best story book a 2nd grader could produce with water color paint pictures.  I also remember the inclass parties and Kylie dancing about with the other 2nd graders while a few of us, sat and watched.  To think 10 years later at 17 or 18 I'd be one to have enough confidence to dance Hip Hop & Latin Dances such as Bachata, Merengue, and Salsa despite being Thai of Asian descent is a complete 180 degrees.
