"Dear boys and girls,

Love,

When you consider that most couldn't even write their names a few short months ago, this is pretty amazing. And I love seeing them excited about writing. I love my job, especially in the spring!!
Only a loving teacher or sweet momma could decipher all those words! But I know you are so proud of them. I have kept so many little letters my children wrote when they first started learning phonetics. Of course, I can read every "word" but others just stare at the page as I interpret. So thankful for teachers who have patience...like you!
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet!! I loved watching the progress and excitement of my students...it is the thing that made all policy poopiness seem like a small pesky fly. I loved that part of my job!!! Thank you for sharing your pride and your students' amazing success!!

Thank you, Sherry and Michelle -- before blogging, I sometimes had to walk down the hall to find someone to show a great piece of kid-writing. Now I can share it with anyone who happens to find my little blog. My writers make me so proud!
