6th Graders No More...

The school year is over and you are 6th graders no more. No matter what happens in the future, it will never be the same as it was this year, when I got the awesome opportunity to be your teacher. As I sit down at my computer, I can't help but look at the clock, checking to see what class period we would be in, thinking about what types of activities we could be doing, wondering what would be going on, listening for the door to open. But no students will pass through my door today. My room will remain silent and empty, with just me and my thoughts of this school year. You, my 6th grade students of 2011-2012, will never pass through my door as my students again. I hope that you will not be strangers as you get older and pass through the grades. I hope that you would still find time in your ever increasingly busy lives to come see me or send me an email, or just say Hi. Why do I hope this? It is simple: because I care. I care about you. I care about your future. It is because of this, that you need to know something very important: I am here for you. I am your supporter. I am in your corner as you take on whatever life throws your way. You need to make sure you know that if you ever need anything, I will do all that I can to help. Though my title is no longer "teacher" for you, it has become and will remain "friend."  Yes, I will definitely miss you all but I am excited to see what you become in life. You have so much potential. Please realize this and don't waste it. Continue to think, to search, to discover. Be fearless in life. Make a goal and do whatever it takes to achieve it. Don't let anything stop you. Go out and dominate life and if you ever come across an obstacle, know that I am there to help you. Take care and have a great summer.

I am sooo bored and want to come back to school becuase all I dont have anything to do but clean and that does not sound fun. I wish we still had school but I wish it started at 10:00 and we got out at 2:00 just for whenever we want to come to school and their would be all our teachers and for the teachers that didnt want to come there was a virtual thing of them and they could talk to us from home, that would be sooooooo fun. I wish you could be my next year teacher except for the fact that I am moving. I will totally write to you from wherever I move (most likely to Mew York) :'( You are one of my favorite teachers EVER (you and Mrs.Klumper)

Paige D (I would put a 6 in it but im not in that class anymore) said...
