Just this past Wednesday (May2014) my daughter-in-law (she teaches 3rd-5th grade special ed.) received a letter from one of her 5th-graders. He sang her praises, which made us all very proud. My favorite sentence was something like "Sorry Mrs. So-and-So, Miss What's-Her-Name and Mrs. Whatchamacallit, but Mrs. Taylor is fantastic!" It was great :) In fact, as a gift I intend to make her a nice binder in which she can save all these memorable things through the years 'cause I'm SURE she'll have many more to come :):Donna Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-50341784223654059502011-06-21T13:50:45.010-04:002011-06-21T13:50:45.010-04:00Wonderful post!

Sounds like you're both getting the recognition you deserve at the moment! :-)<br /><br />My Mum is usually a primary school drama teacher at a handful of schools, and she has brought so many kids out of their shells and boosted their confidence in themselves. Their eyes light up whenever they see her - it's wonderful to see. I say 'usually' because at the moment she's teaching the prep children at Grantham, a town that was almost washed away in the floods earlier this year. Most of her kids had some very traumatic experiences, but I couldn't think of anyone better to guide them through their first year of school than Mum. As you can probably tell, I'm very proud of her!Cally Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313803959936813426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-46792305165792359962011-06-12T20:14:13.456-04:002011-06-12T20:14:13.456-04:00Natasha, Catherine, Theresa, Kari Marie, Teri, Gin...Natasha, Catherine, Theresa, Kari Marie, Teri, Gina and Brooke - thank you all for your kind words.
