A Fitting End to TFA...

We were inducted as TFA alumni this week.



A student's letter to me on my birthday:

"Dear Ms. A!

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a very good birthday :) Especially on a Friday! I'm going to get you a card on Monday! Lets hope your day goes perf, and your students are good to you. I really appreciate all that you've taught me, and all that I've learned! I wish I could've known it was your birthday like a week ago.  .-.  I would've gotten you a present because I really appreciate you as a teacher, a person, + a friend! Im not going to lie, you are my favorite teacher! + you let me go to the bathroom when my tooth came out, my bloody mouth >.< I wish I had you next year as a math teacher! I should be your TA next year (: Lol. I'm really gunna miss you next year, I'm gunna visit you EVERYDAY! You're such a joyful person! Even when 6th period class is being loud + destructive, you're always in a good mood. I just hope this letter made your day just a little bit brighter! I Love You Ms. A!

My favorite Teacher: ~ (my name) <3

Sincerely,
(Student)"




(6th period class has not even come close to being destructive! Loud-- yeah, I'll give them that. I frequently tell them how much I love having them at the end of the day.


I love my kids (most of the time). I love teaching (most of the time).

Teaching, year three (four if Berlin counts)-- here we go!

  1. Hi, K! I love this letter!

    I just wanted to thank your for your advice to apply for TFA even if I had applied to Fulbright. I'm heading to Schleswig-Holstein for Fulbright this August and then to Chicago next summer for TFA :)

    So thanks again!

    Paul
