I would like to take a moment to wish all the mothers of room 109 students a very happy Mother’s Day! Thank you for all you do to help your children succeed in school. Thank you for packing healthy snacks and lunches each day, for signing those assignment notebooks each night, for helping with the (sometimes confusing) homework assignments every day, for supporting the daily expectations and demands of my classroom, and for providing the love and support that children need to thrive in class. When my students accidentally call me “Mama”, “Mommy”, or “Mom”, (and it happens at least once a day!), please know that I consider it a great compliment. I hope you enjoy the gifts your children so lovingly made for you. They couldn’t wait to surprise you!
