I was in our classroom tonight preparing for next week and I want to say thank you for making me feel so fortunate to be a teacher! After being away for the last two weeks, I miss every aspect of being a first grade teacher. Everything from the stories, the questions, the smiles, the needs, the challenges and even the tears that happen on occasion. It opened my heart even more to the kids and parents. I am so fortunate to have a job where I can interact with such wonderful kids who are eager to learn and grow! The first thing I saw was a banner with each kids picture and their writing, along with a huge Welcome Back Sign that included a letter from each of you. I have never received such a meaningful gift. It was such a joy and motivational experience to read each of your letters. I just want to thank you individually for taking the time to create such a meaningful book of memories!
I am so excited to be back teaching! I know it was a transition for you and your child the past two weeks, and I want to thank you for being so patient and understanding. I am very proud of your child too for being such a positive leader while not knowing who they would have for a teacher the upcoming day. I am sure that was difficult for some of them. All I know is... I am so greatful to be back!! :)
See you Monday!
