Letters to Ms. Yee 2008-2009

My gr. 5' students wrote letters to me at the end of the school year...here is a sampling...
Dear: Ms. Yee...
...You know, some of the facts you told me during the school year, I share it with people outside of school! The way you always added a little fun and humour to our learning really made the experience enjoyable for me. Even though you sometimes make long lectures, that shows that you really want us to learn. I remember when you also tell us stories of when you were little and about your family which a lot of us can relate to. I also sometimes look back on the time you played football at Camp Tapawingo. Wow Ms. Yee! You can sure play! A.S.

There was some funny things that happened in the walls of this class and I cant just say how nice you are to the class with all the words in the dictionary! ...and there will be one more thing I will remember for the rest of my life never settle for anything less than your best (is that how it goes?) I wish I can still be in your class. H.H.


This year was the best year in my whole life. I did have bad time but you always helped me out. For example, remember, when I got sad that my mom was in the hospital and you cheered me up. That's how you helped me out . I am very thankful for that.
Another thing I want to talk about is how caring you are Ms. Yee. You always care about everyone with a warm heart. For example, remember in camp I got a black eye, you would always ask me if I was okay with a very big warm smile...
The third thing that I want to talk about is how you are funny. How I think you are funny is how you change the topic so fast. For example, remember when we were learning about Media and H was picking her teeth and for the rest of the period you were teaching us how to FLOSS. That was so funny!!! (LOL) S.K.

Something I learned about you is you are helpful and one reason for that is in camp you helped me pack my clothes and by the way I really wanted to be in your cabin. Miss yee I will never forget everything you have done for me And of course I will never forget you. And I PROMISE I will visit you and your new grade five class. E.G.
...both of you are really funny what I really liked was at rock and chalk when you were shouting from the top that was really funny....R.I.

This was your first year as a grade 5 teacher and you handled us like a pro! You never gave up on us and always told us to do our best in everything. And here are some examples of your kindness. One example is, whenever we fail at something, you gave us a second chance. Also, you had a great sense of humour. I remember when you would fuse the humour with the work. Your jokes were always so funny! But when you were serious, you were serious. Even though the problems seemed small, they always made you angry. But in the end, you would always calm down and relax. I hope you continue to be a great teacher! R.B.
