Dear Ms/Mrs./Mr./Mme. (insert any teacher's name here),
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you!!! For showing my child a whole new world. For opening their eyes to other cultures and histories. For listening to their stories and life experiences. For sharing your life and your wisdom with them. For going over the multiplication tables just one more time. For admiring their use of adjectives instead of focusing on the words spelled wrong.
Thank you!!! For holding their hands when they are crying because the ball hit them. For giving them the tools to "work it out" when conflict arises while standing nearby just in case. For boosting their confidence when speaking. For listening to stories about their vacations.
Thank you!!! For letting them rewrite a failed test. For the countless hours of your time given for extra help. For staying after school to coach the sports teams and organizing clubs. For understanding when a report isn't printed because the family printer doesn't have any ink.
Thank you!!! For eating lunch at your desk so they finally get that math equation right. For discretely giving your lunch to a student with none of their own. For buying pens, pencils, and supplies for those in need. For ordering books you know a child who isn't an interested reader would love. For understanding not every child has a computer and giving them access to one during school hours.
Thank you!!! For having as much patience as you do day in day out. For caring whether our children succeed. For praising a B- from a C student. For calling home and talking to parents when marks are going down hill. For sending an email when a mark is on the rise. For allowing extra credit work to a borderline mark.
A special Thank You to Mme. Roy, Mrs. Frappier, Mrs. Wahler, and Mrs. Als for being such fantastic teachers to Riley! Mme. Seguin, Ms. Jackson, Ms. Felippe....Thank You for helping Alex excel this year.
To all of you teachers out there...enjoy the summer. You deserve it!!
