my email to a teacher
Dear Mrs. Epps,
My name is Ingrid Anchundia and I was in your fourth grade class the first year that Hicks Elementary opened. I don’t know if you remember me, but you are one of the teachers that I will always remember. I think that is because I had two experiences that I will always link to your class.
The first experience was about glasses. The first few months of that 4th grade year I wasn’t doing too well in your class. I remember having some disciplinary problems and not passing all my assignments. It was you that called my mother and took me to the nurse’s office to figure out what was wrong. As it turned out, I needed glasses and had not realized it. It was because you took an interest in my education that simple matter of me needing glasses to read the board was solved. After that I my performance improved in not just your class, but all my classes.
The second experience was that you, Ms. Epps, got me interested in reading. I remember that we had reading time where you would read to the whole class and you read the funniest book, Superfudge by Judy Bloom. I think this might have been at the beginning of the year. I only recall you reading that specific book. It was suck a funny and great book, that reading time was my favorite part of my school day. When I found out that there where others, I quickly went to the library and started reading and I’ve never stopped. Before this experience I didn’t really read a lot, not for fun anyway. Reading time in your class not only started my long affair with Judy Bloom but with reading in general.
I’m writing to you not just to relive the 4th grade, but also to inform you that I am becoming a teacher. The teacher I want to become is engaging, caring, and fun. I want to be able to tap into my student’s potential by creating a positive class environment that is engaging as well as challenging. I wish to reach my future students and create a positive change, which is something I feel you did for me. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I don’t know how I would have gotten through middle school without my love of reading.
Thank you again,
Ingrid
