Happy Mother's Day

Mondays are the hardest day of the week. Like clockwork, every Monday my students have suddenly forgotten how to hold a pencil, stand in a line, and walk in the hall.  Most of them are exhausted from not getting enough sleep over the weekend.  Some haven't listened or spoken to English all weekend and need to readjust to the culture shock.  Despite all of that, I couldn't have asked for a better Monday.


For: Ms. Glass and Ms. Brooks
From: T, L
Dear Ms. Glass,
You are a nice teacher because you teach me things and we get to have fun.  It is so great to have you and Ms. Brooks as a teacher.  Love, T and L. There is some more words in the back.

Are you really coming to our house?

Please Circle

Yes     No

L been saying she love you because you are nice. My moms phone number is (***) ***-*****. If she have any trouble you could call my mom.
Written by my student's sister, the above note was given to me on loose-leaf notebook paper (upside down), and decorated with flowers and pictures that say "Happy Mother's Day."

We got a new friend today in school.  W is the 18th big kid in our garden! When W's mom and dad came to pick him up, he shouted "Mom I have so much homework and if I finish it all tonight I can get extra homework tomorrow! Can I come back here tomorrow?"

At the end of the day, Y approached me. "Miss Glass I changed my mind, I do like school."

And R didn't wet himself during nap time!

Goodbye Teachers and Friends,
Miss Glass
