We love you, Teacher Sally!MWF 4s 2009-2010

We had a wonderful year this year! We have so much to say about all of the fun we had, all of the friends we made, and all of the important things

that we learned…

Abigail

“School is fun because snack is so yummy, that’s

why! And I learned to do the monkey

bars all by myself.”

“Teacher Sally teach-ed me about being good friends

and having fun with good friends!”

Will Alina

“I love you, Teacher Sally! You

are very kind. Thank you for

being my teacher and for all the

good times I had at school!”

“I like to play “Family” at school.

I don’t think teacher Sally

taught me that game…she just

helped me figure it out for myself!”

Jenna

“Teacher Sally, thank you for

teaching me walk away power for

when someone is being mean to

me!”

Danny Kaden

“Thank you for teaching me all the

fun songs, especially the

‘Fountain Floating Deep and Wide’ song. I sing it to

my brother!”

“Actually…my favorite part of

school is playing outside on the

bikes!”

Kai

“Teacher Sally makes me laugh! And…she knows

how to play Simon Says!”

LukeLindsey

“Ah-too-wee-yah,ah-too-wee-yah,ah-too-wee-tah-

tah!!”

Riley

(this is a joint quote with Savannah!)

“Teacher Sally taught us how to go boy-girl-boy-

girl…”

“I liked how teacher Sally

taught me that *pulling his ears*

means ‘I see you!’ She taught Sammy

too!”

John Savannah

“…and that’s how we make new

friends!*pause*

She also taught us about germs.”

“I liked finding treasure from the

leprechauns outside!”

TessaTeddy

I like Teacher Sally because she helps me pick out books, and paint pictures.

She also reads good stories!

“Sign language!”(Me: “Wasn’t that

Teacher Jennifer?”)“Just write down that thing that I

said, okay?”

Kevin

“I like Teacher Sally because she helps me pick out books, and paint pictures.

She also reads good stories!”

games with me and sometimes sits

behind me. She also puts more snacks on the

table!”

“I liked doing the monkey bars on the playground!”

Gigi

“I love Teacher Sally because she always listens to what I say and I like the way she sings at circle

time!”

Brendan

Charlie

“I liked all of the books that Teacher Sally read to me!”

We learned how to make ourselves useful!

By helping to tidy things up…

..and trying our hardest to keep our shoes tied…

even when they kept coming off!

At playtime, we learned…

…how to play together, how to create things on our own, and even how to accessorize!

At snack time, we learned…

..to wash our hands before we sit down, thank God before we eat, and to save those leftovers when it is a really yummy treat (like ice cream)!

On the playground, we learned…

..to enjoy just hanging around, to get to where we want to go, and (of

course) to always look for and find the magic!

And we learned the really important stuff…

…like how to look good from all angles!

We learned how to make great friends!

We learned that hard word really does pay off!

On the last day of school, guess who made it across the monkey bard for the first time ever?!

Teacher Sally, we owe you thanks not just for all you do for our children, but also for the many ways you help us to be better parents. Here are just a few of the ways…

“Teacher Sally taught me what is ‘normal”, age-appropriate behavior…and she always modeled such calm and patience in the classroom!”

“Teacher Sally taught me to be a patient mom with my daughter…and just to really enjoy her!”

“I am a better mom because Teacher Sally taught me that no matter what is going on in your life, you can always put on a happy face and appreciate the little things children do to brighten up your day!”

“My talks with teacher Sally taught me that I know what is best for my child, and that I should follow my instincts. She is incredibly observant of each child, and very loving to all of them.”

“Teacher Sally always put my daughter’s behavior into perspective for me, which allowed me to just relax!”

“Sally always saw the great potential in my son – it was a wonderful encouragement to me as a mom!”

“One of the greatest things about having Teacher Sally is that it is not just the child who benefits…it is also the mom!”

“Teacher Sally, thank you so much for your dedication to all of the kids this year. You made my son’s year so very special!”

Thank you for a wonderful year! Those of us with little siblings really look forward to having you as a teacher again!

Thank you from the moms, too!
