After a terrible morning yesterday, I arrived at school at 9:15 to find my sweet kids in a mess. I know they were excited about having a sub and school getting out today, but my goodness. They have never made me so mad. And I made them pay for it! Ha. They did all the work yesterday that I didn't make them do all week. And they had a very short time to do it. If they didn't get it done, homework for them! Part of their assignment was to write me an apology letter. Teaching kids to write letters is important, right?! Ha.
I know today I am supposed to do 5 on Friday, but I am going to write 5 of my favorite letters for you enjoyment. :)
They all start out Dear Ms. McCormack,
1. I am so sorry that I was being bad. I did the wrong thing I should be shame of my self. I still love you so much that you are the best teacher in the whole wide world. Love-
2.Im so sorry. I gave you a heard day. and I will not do it no more and when I get back I will be good all the time and if I still do Im doing because I love you for all way I love you ms mccormack for all way. I hope you will do the same. Love-
3. I am so so so sorry for what I did. I don't know why I did it. But I am so shure I will never in my enter life do it again I so sorry that I am going to give you this letter from my heart and soul. Love-

5. I am so sorry for being bad I want ever be bad agin please an I hope you don't be mad at us all your life. Love-
**One of my kids never, and I repeat never, does anything wrong. Here's the letter he wrote.
This had been the best 3rd grade year I ever had. You are the best teacher I ever had. I wish you were my teacher for the rest of my life.I hope I get to see you again. Love-
I mean, how in the world could I continue to be mad after I read this?! They are so funny. I wish you could have seen the look on their faces when I told them how disappointed I was. Today was much better. We watched Pocahontas today. I felt that was appropriate since we are learning about pilgrims and indians. I am going to really enjoy my week away from them, as I am sure they will enjoy their week away from me.
I am off to eat Mexican food with McCall at LaCocina..yummy! :)
