Miss Edgar

A few weeks ago my sweet practicum class wrote me  letters. After over a month of seeing this unique, silly, smart, and loving class nearly everyday I almost couldn't bear to leave. I learned their struggles, strengths, and innocent little cares. I have many sweet memories of each child in this class and their carefully written words and precious pictures touch my heart. 

Some of the most touching responses to me came from my students who struggled the most. These were the children that I cried over at night worrying about whether or not what I was doing was helping them. These were the students that brought happy tears to my eyes when they succeeded at reading. These were the students that I really needed and that really needed me. 

"Ms Edgar is nice! She reads with Me. She is helpful With math."
"Ms Edgar helps me. She smils. She plays with me." 
"Miss Edgar is nice! I lice when she playd With use. She is fun. She is the best. She is mi best friend. I will mis her so much" 
"Ms. Edgar you ar so prety.!!!!!! I am gowing to miss you. I love you Ms. Edgar. I like when you plad with us."
"Ms. Edgar is nice! She brings us treats. She also I like when she is a friend. She is cool."
"Ms Edgar us NICE! Sh is my favrit. I like her, I like when she is here. Ms Edgar is NICE!"
"Ms. Edgar is nice! She help me. She is awesome. I like wen she is a god friend."
"Miss Edgar is nice! she is awesome, she helps us. She also plas with me. We will miss her so much. The end." 



My darling students-

You are smart. You are creative. You are important. Your words and thoughts have power and meaning. You can change the world. 

Students, when you laugh I laugh. When you cry, I cry. When you struggle I will be with you no matter what. When you are learning you are teaching me far more than I could ever teach you. Your stories, your thoughts, and your cares touch me. 

You are my happiness! All of my students; past, present, and future, have influenced me and formed me into the woman that I am today. Your little stories and smiles make me laugh and bring such a light into my life! You are all my best friends. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting me, for forgiving me when I mess up, and for all the love you give unto me no matter what. 

With all my love and smiles 

Miss Edgar
