The time has come for me to say goodbye. I will miss all of you and writing on this blog. It will be forever available as a yearbook to your child on the internet. I hope they visit it often throughout their lives and say things like, "Oh, I remember doing that," or "Ah, that was fun."
Tomorrow will be the last day I have as your child's teacher. Thank you for sharing them with me. It has been an honor to teach each and everyone of them. They are all unique and will forever have a footprint on my heart.
I ask that you do me three more favors before we say goodbye....
1. Send in a school picture of your child, and have them write me a message on the back so I can add it to my amazing kids board tomorrow.
2. Read the poem that I am sending home in their picture frame with them often.
3. Read the letter I wrote to each of them on their report card together, and discuss how very proud I am of all of them.
I hope that you all have an amazing summer, and I hope this is only the beginning of our relationships down the road. Please encourage your child to continue to invite me into their lives. Graduations, weddings, important events...all of it. I would love to continue to watch them grow.
Thank you again. I am always here to help in any way I can.
Love,
Ms. Erickson
PS. Kids need to dress for the weather tomorrow and wear tennis shoes for our walk. They may also bring footballs or frisbees for the park. Remember...no need to bring backpacks as we brought it all home today. Report cards home tomorrow. Thanks.
