I Just have to share

My students amaze me everyday, but sometimes they just blow me away!!!

I asked them to write letters to the troops over Thanksgiving and I just had to share one, they are ALL wonderful but sometimes it amazes me the things that they say at their age!! (I am including all spelling and grammar mistakes too- so it is not me)

Dear Soldier,

I give you great thanks for going away and protecting our country. I wouldn't know but, it must be hard to be gone away from your family for so long. Don't worry though because your family and friends are waiting for you and they love you very much! I'm hopeing this letter will make you feel better. The teachers are sending you troops some stuff to make your lifestyle better. Have a great Thanksgiving and your days where you are very happy.

Yours truely,

X


OK -one more

Dear Soldiers,

My name is X. I am writing this letter to you to show my appreciation and gratitude for the toughtest job you can ever take on.

You probably feel very scared and loney but I want you to know that , we back home, support our troops. I feel proud and sad because you are protecting our country and risking your lives. Thank you for making us feel safe and protected. Thank you for protecting our freedom. I wish you a safe and fast return home so you can reunite with your family and loved ones.

Your supporter,

X


I am so proud of them. I just had to share!

Wow! I got chills reading those. How sweet!

soo sweet

Beautiful

They are so sweet. Awesome assignment to give them!

Wasn't an assignment.

A friend asked if I would have my students do it so I told them if they wanted to do it over Thanksgiving while they were able to eat with their families and friends and these poor men and women are fighting a war and can't be with their families and friends- I told them I can't assign what is in your heart so if you want to send them a thinking of you letter then you can.

That makes it even more special. How many children wrote a letter? I bet you got a good response. It seems like you have a very good, intelligent class.

That is so great to hear! Wonderful letters!

AWEEEE How sweet they are !!!!

And they are inspired by their amazing teacher !!!!!!

What a great feeling to see that they have so much love inside, these little wiseguys

I did this in my third grade class where Im student teaching, really cute letters there too.

Hi Jamie !!!!!!

I don't know why I missed this the first time around but after you mentioned it I did a searc, your kids are amazing!!! You must be a wonderful teacher to have students like that. Thank you for allowing them to do this and for making the effort to send things out to our men and women overseas, if Lenny were here he'd thank you too!

Bless you and there sweet little hearts
