Having school after Memorial Day is tough. Especially when you only have 2 1/2 days of school. Tuesday was still supposed to be an academic day, and all weekend long I tried to figure out what I should do with my students. Finally, I decided I would have them write thank-you notes to their teachers. I instructed them that they had to write at least two thank-you notes to an adult at the school (teacher, counselor, principal, class aide, etc.). I told them that they weren't supposed to write one to me (at least not for the first two thank-you notes) because I already know I'm awesome. haha One student didn't get that instruction though. He's in my 6th period Writing Skills class and, if you can remember, that class has been very difficult. Here is his letter:
"Dear Ms. Damron,
You where very nice and kind. I am sad to leave, but I think it is for the best. Luckly, I'll still say "hi" in the halls. I thank you for teaching and keeping your anger in when some people were being annoying. I do not know how you do it, but your good at it."
This was just too good not to share. He doesn't need my writing class next year, but man will I miss him. He was a great kid!
-Ms. Damron-
