Dear Mentee A,
Your room looks beautiful and I can't wait for your new kiddos to meet you! We're going to have such a great year...thank you for sharing your first year with me (not that you really had a choice...) :-)
Love, Mentor
Dear Mentee G,
I know you said you're "a big nerd," but I love that I'm going to learn so much from you this year. I know we'll have a good three days still getting everything ready for your kinders, and I can't wait to see you with them on their first day!
Love, Mentor
Dear Pepsi and Coke,
I really try to end our relationship. Like, all. the. time. But I just can't seem to let you go, so a drink every other day or so will just have to be okay.
Sincerely, your happily caffeinated teach
Dear RB,
I'm so happy that your blog is good to go! I love that both you and your coteacher are blogging and I'm looking forward to reading more from you. And, I'm so glad we're friends. If you ever need anything, I'm here for you girl!
Love, your buddy (I almost wrote butty, hahhahaaaa)
PS - I did not love when you pointed and laughed at me on Friday before my speech...but looking back, it's hilar!
Dear Jamberry Nails,
I'm not going to lie, I got tons of compliments when I was jammin with my jammicure, and I loved the patterns! But it just took so long to get it done myself. So, I will try again in the future, but for now, I'm off to the manicurist.
Love, lazybones
Dear students,
I can't wait to see you....tomorrow! (and maybe today if you come to the back to school picnic!)
Love, Teach
Dear Bucktown Arts Fest,
I CAN'T WAIT till next weekend when you'll be just two neighborhood blocks away. I'm saving my pennies for some great new art!
Love, a very excited neighbor
Dear CN,
You've been amazing as we have worked on blogs. Thank you for the shout-outs and for supporting all the new bloggers who will begin on their journeys. When RB texted me all excited for her first comment, I just *knew* it was from you...and I was right! You're #amazeballs :-)
Hugs, Blogging buddy
Dear Roomie,
So funny how amazeballs was added to the dictionary! You knew I'd appreciate that, right? Thought of you on my last letter!
Love, Roomie
Dear Team Heartless,
I still have the most special place in my heart for our team. When we were together for those two years, I knew we had a really cool thing, but I didn't know exactly how special it was. I still look back on those years with such love and admiration for each of you. I think a big part of the reason I miss middle school is, in large part, to you all!
xo, a very proud teach
So, readers, do you have letters to share? It's time to link up! Write your post and submit your link here! We'll be back at this again in two weeks, so plan to meet me here at BigTime Literacy again!
Have a great week - and if it's your first week back, enjoy the special moments with your students!
Great minds think alike- I also wrote letters to my mentees and roomie! I'm also looking forward to Rachel's blog. Finding new blogs to *stalk* is always exciting! LOL. ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are ready for a new year! Thanks for hosting the link up :) I'm having a 100 follower giveaway, so check it out if you get a chance.

love your letters! I need to figure out how to do this whole link up thing so I can write some too!! :-) See you in the morning, roomie!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, friend. You're amazing! And I didn't mean to point and laugh. You were just so serious! I was surprised. But you did a great job presenting, and I'm sure you inspired others to start blogging as well!
ReplyDeleteI finally have a few minutes to catch up with my favorite teacher blogs! I loved your presentation and was actually kind of excited to be part of it :) thanks for all that you do and for being so supportive of us newbies!

I love this linky!! It is so much fun to read everyone's letters. Thanks for doing this. I am also a mentor for two teachers this year. I love watching them, growing with them, and learning together!

This is a such a cute idea! I just published a post to link up... and then realized the collection is closed :) oops! Hopefully you'll post another one today!

Hey there - I am new to the linkies - but I will open it again! I'm doing letters every other Sunday, but I will remember next time to leave it open for the whole two weeks in between! Check back and link up - going to fix it now! :-)
DeleteThanks for joining!
I did just as Jenny and linked up too only to see it closed. Oh well...time to get back to bloggin anyway.
ReplyDeleteCarla
Hey Carla! So I post that blog every other week - I'll have a new one up next Sunday (It's probably kinda confusing - Perhaps I didn't explain it right!) But I'm going to go open up the linky again! Sorry for the confusion, but so glad you are joining in!
