My kids got out of school for the summer last Friday. Matthew was excited to get his yearbook. And I loved reading the 'autographs' section. Particularly this note from his teacher:
Matthew...What can I say? You are a fun kid with a great sense of humor. Don't lose that.I'm telling you, that man should get a thousand gold stars for the patience he had with my ADHD son this year. It hasn't been easy, and he's been great. I love that he captured Matthew's strengths in this note, and still encouraged him in his weakness.
When you're on, you're on so make sure next year you get all your work in on time! :o)
Have a great summer!
Mr. S.
I want to be a communicator like that!

When I was a kid, I "said" I didn't care about what my teachers wrote in my yearbook, but really I did. I think I cared more about what they wrote than what my friends wrote. Those notes are so encouraging!
Yay from awesome teachers like Mr. S and Yay! for awesome kids like Matthew!!
Jodi - Yes. What we say we care about, and what we really care about aren't always the same!
Encouraging words from a well-liked teacher mean the world to a kid. Whether they'll admit it, or not! :o)
