There are a lot of things I assume you know about about us and how I feel about our class. Perhaps, though, you don’t know these things for sure. Maybe I don’t tell you enough. I want you to make sure you know these things.
I really do care about each and every one of you.
I love the fun times we have in class together.
You are important, and you matter!
You are funny and smart.
I want to show you that science is wonderful. The world is amazing. The universe is incredible.
But even more that that, I want you to know that life is beautiful.
I hope you know that I am here for you, and you can always come to talk to me – about anything – even if it is a year, or two, or more later, and I’m not “your” teacher anymore. I have time for you. I (will) remember you.
Because as I mentioned before, you matter. I see you, and I see an exciting future filled with wonderful new discoveries, inventions, and ideas. I know it will be a bright one. Because I know each of you. You are talented and creative and thought-ful.
Please don’t ever forget this!
Love,
Mrs. Wilson
