Stay in touch with your child’s teachers in ways that show you appreciate what they are doing. If every parent took a moment to write a positive note to your child’s teacher, it would really make their week.
Most of the notes I received as a classroom teacher were to point out thing that they thought I needed to do better or ask about a grade or to thank me for something I had done.
Guess which ones I like to get. I loved notes from parents saying you helped my child learn something I thought he would always struggle with. I loved notes that said thank you for helping my child write a great story.
I once received a copy of the letter a mom of a former student sent to the superintendent of schools. The letter thanked the school system and in particular four teachers that had helped her son pursue his dreams. The letter was sent when her son graduated from graduate school. I was one of those teachers she mentioned. I taught him in second grade. She will never know how much that letter made my whole career.
That is a great idea! Thanks for letting me know how I can make my daughters teacher feel appreciated.
What a great idea.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a note. I hope you will check out Lisa Harper’s books. She has a great way of weaving a life message into Scripture. Blessings.
This is a good thing to remember! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
