This teacher has been very humbled by the wonderful week of gifts. Each day, I have been surprised with something special from my students. Our whole class has enjoyed the beautiful flowers I received on Monday. My family is enjoying the fruit the students brought on Tuesday. I cherish the poems my students wrote for me on Wednesday. These poems will always have a warm place in my heart and will make me smile when I remember each student. Today was chocolate day! I was feeling no stress after enjoying some of the many kinds of candy I received. I can't wait to see what awaits me tomorrow. The smiling faces of your children as they enter the classroom always brightens up my morning.
I want to sincerely thank you for all of these kindnesses this week. Teaching is a very rewarding and challenging career. I am honored to have been a part of your children's education. I have had the pleasure of watching these 10 years old grew and mature. They are eager to go to the next level of their education. I am confident they are ready for the challenges awaiting them in Middle School. I will miss them and hope they will keep in touch.
Again, thank you for this wonderful week and for the support you have given me all year.
Mrs. Tidrick
