So, at school today the kids had to write a letter to a special relative. As I took their letters home to read, I was so pleased with the work they did. Kids really can say the sweetest things. Here are a few of their letters.
To David - "I got a game of Scarface. I love it. I love the baby girl" - he is talking about his little baby girl cousin that was just born about a month ago. :)
Dear Kyle - "You are my favorite cousin."
Dear Matthew - "When it's summer and we have grass, we can play soccer, football, and baseball." (a letter to his brother)
Dear grandpa and grandma - "I love you grandpa and grandma. I hope you are doing good. I wish you could be with me."
Dear Uncle John and Aunt Tressa - "I love you. You are my good uncle and aunt."
To Nicolas - "I love you. Get well soon. I got a new toy called an Omitrix from Ben 10. I hope you get to go home soon." (a letter to his cousin who is in the hospital)
Dear mom and dad - "In school I have been learning about Indian gods. They worshipped totum poles. On them were pictures of animals and other gods."
These are the times that I remember why I am a teacher. Kids can truly be a blessing.
