Teacher Appreciation Week.
My favorite week of the entire school year. Not because people buy me things, not because it's nice to be appreciated, but because the students write me funny notes.
"Thank you, Ms. Wilson for being fresh. When I yelled the word "gay", it was not directed at anyone, sometimes I forget that others might take what I say offensively, so I don't think before I speak. If you choose to forgive me, I will be happy and we can get back to our normal relationship of you yelling at me when I say offensive things instead of me writing notes. I appreciate you."
"I am thankful to my [school name] teacher Ms. Wilson beacuse she's the coolest teacher and she's radtastic and let me go get her water and Shimmers. P.S. Sorry [names of two students] are in your class. They're annoying."
On the outside of the folded note: "Courtny 'Hothead' Wilson"
"Dear Wilson
Hi"
"Dear Courtney 'Hothead' Wilson (Grandma)"
"Ego appretiaris tuo. Thanks for letting us watch Deadliest Warrior or something. I don't know really. You make sitting around in a Latin classroom fun. Thanks for being such an awesome teacher, and remember, pedal chair babies.
-Your faithful student and grandson and will have had been being (I learned tenses!) your favorite learner."
(This particular student started calling me "Grandma" after I got my old lady glasses.)
"I am thankful to my [school name] Ms. Wilson because she is the coolest, most laid back teacher ever. And P.S. she's the sunderer of worlds."
(n.b. My name is still not Courtney nor is my nickname "Hothead.")
