Dear Ms. Bates,

Thank you so much for all the wonderful lessons you taught me. Thanks to your influence, I can play the intense game of life. Your class helped me focus on what I like rather than stressing over homework or school.  loved spies (Social, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual) and used it many times throughout middle school. You also taught us to keep getting our work done even if we hated the teachers. Thank you for all your influence.

I appreciated all the lessons you taught us. For example, in kindergarten you randomly brought out of class to go to enrichment. Here, you taught us to observe more than the obvious. One day, you asked us to count the amount of computers in the class. Everyone said five or course, because they all saw the five huge desktops sitting in front of them. But right in front of us sat large cart of laptops no kindergartner paid attention too. I found everything you taught new and exciting. From puzzles to the wild west, your classes beat all of the rest.

I greatly admire how you always manage to know the most erratic words. Whenever we played word games like bananagrams, scrabble, or boggle, you generated words faster than a machine. I always wondered how you knew these words. For example, in a game of scrabble your letters included “e” and an “m”. However, the board left no room for the word “me.” You wrote the word “em” and confused us all. Apparently, the space a capital M takes on a paper like this warrants the need for a new word. All the amazing things you taught still boggle my mind today. I loved everything you taught and wish to see you again.

Thank You,
