About this listen

From popular personality and storyteller Matt Eicheldinger, a collection of 100 true, uplifting short stories that capture the meaning behind everyday encounters, and the small lessons woven in-between.

Every story is important. Every single one.

When middle school teacher Matt Eicheldinger had a student who wouldn’t speak at all, he decided to leave her a sticky note on her desk everyday, each one with a funny cartoon or encouraging messages. Years later, she returned to share she had saved every sticky note he had left to encourage her, leaving Eicheldinger to wonder what other extraordinary moments he missed from seemingly ordinary interactions.

Luckily, he had a way to revisit them all. For the past fifteen years, Eicheldinger has written down moments like this from his classroom, capturing literally hundreds of daily interactions between himself, students, and families.

Sticky Notes offers listeners a chance to experience one hundred of these stories that capture friendship, grief, joy, and so much more. Although each story can stand on its own, Eicheldinger offers a new perspective that will help you understand what he has grown to learn over the years: there is always a greater message within the story, we just need to be ready to see it.

Such enjoyment.

I bought this book before it was released. I walk with my dogs daily and it became what I listened to. what a caring person and teacher y
Matt is. I laughed, smilwd and sometimes cried. My granddaughter who is in the 6th grade loves to listen to the bits while we drive in the car.
Thank you for sharing, caring and making a difference.

Short stories

Matt has put together a collection of short stories that resonate with me as a former middle school teacher. He is an excellent story teller and makes me wish I had been in his class as a student. I hope there is a sequel! It is worth the cost.

Middle School Life Lessons

This book is made up of short clips of happenings in teaching sixth grade. I taught for 36 years. Twenty of those years in kindergarten. My primary thought in reading this was a personal regret that I did not keep a journal of moments that I wished to remember. Certainly I have plenty of memories but I know that there are more that I have forgotten. Here's one that I cherish. If we were ready to go home, to recess or whatever a couple of minutes early, I'd ask what song they wanted to sing. I had one class that loved Jingle Bells. We sang Jingle Bells until school was out. By the way, I hope your boy Otto saved that video of his dad and granddad. What a treasure.

From across the fence…

I grew up watching Matt run and strive. A year ahead of me in school, my athletic, kind, and eternally friendly neighbor was always destined for success. I’m thrilled he has found it in his art, his storytelling, and his talents as a teacher.

Mr. Ike's Sticky Notes Are Magic

While I skipped Mr. Ike's middle grade books, I couldn't resist his compliation for adults. As I anticipated, his notes deliver charming anecdotes from everyday life with middle school kids, and a bit of a lesson with most of his recollections.

Teachers like Mr. Ike are everywhere. They wear their superhero capes under their clothes or hide their halos in their hair. What a joy to hear from a teacher about some of the mundane, yet profound lessons his students teach him.

Brough back memories

I loved this book. It brought back memories of when I was in school so long ago. And with that it brought friends I had forgotten about. Thank you
