Letter to teachers.

Dear past/present teachers,
      Any teachers brought up in the following letter, I have the utmost respect for. Even though I may have some smart comments that may come off as disrespectful, I truely thank every single teacher for what they've done.
Miss Gates,
 Sorry for the whole, "not going to study hall" thing, it was nothing personal, I just wasn't a fan of study hall, that's it. I appreciated MythBusters though.

Mr. E,
You were the only reason I first cared about science, your teaching methods were unorthodox, but that's what made me half-way interested in science.

Mr. Hoese,
Thank you for teaching me to pretend to be interested. It is a trait that I've used for many many months, really helped me the rest of the way during Mr. E's class.

Mr. Coit,
Hey, thanks for not getting too mad when I made the choice to go ahead and do nothing during PE.

Mr. Howell,
The fact that you haven't strangled me is something I cannot wrap my head around. I have an extreme amount of respect for you and what you put up with as a teacher.

Any teacher I have not mentioned, don't worry, I didn't make a sarcastic letter to you, not because I don't like you or forgot, it's most likely I'm too afraid to write one.
          - Gage E.

Belated Blog Post #2

So this my belated blog post. Originally it was supposed to be over how we felt of the book so far. But now that I have read the whole thing I would like to tell you how I feel about it. I really really enjoyed this book. I like how Harper Lee somehow made it touch on all the iffy subjects of the time and still make it be in a child's perspective. I also like how she ties everything together in the end. I love stories like that. So in the end I give To Kill a Mockingbird five out of five cacti.

Hunger Games

I personally loved the Hunger Games movie! It started off great and then was chilling watching her take her sisters place in the hunger games, and when Gale went to see her was sad. Peeta was trying to be as nice as he could to her because he loved her and she was being rude, considering he saved her life.  In the arena was weird because they didn't have her almost die from de-hydration, they didn't have the closeness between Rue and Katniss to make it sad when Rue died so I didn't even cry. The mutts were CREEPY looking AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO CHASE CATO! NOT KATNISS AND PEETA FIRST!!!! AND IT DIDNT END THAT FAST AND YOU COULDN'T HEAR WHAT CATO WAS SAYING!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Mrs. Miller:)

Dear Mrs. Miller 

Thank you, having to take choir in middle school wasn’t ideal but with you as a teacher you showed me the important’s of music and ever since then I have applied music to my life everyday. So I would like to tell you how much I appreciate you for getting into music because ever since then i’ve been in choir and if I hadn’t I wouldn’t have met Mr. Wells and Miss. Dillman who are amazing choir teachers and have taught me to be the best that I can be. Now music has brought me a family in high school. I am just so thank full for everyone in my life and that you started it all.

Thank You Mrs. Wiersema

Dear Mrs. Wiersema,

    This week is teacher appreciation week and I wanted to thank you for being my teacher and helping me so much. I remember your class was always very fun! We wrote awesome stories and I actually enjoyed English class. There were lots of funny memories in class when we would read our stories out loud, or tell funny stories. Best of all, we made commercials, which was so much fun. I enjoyed that very much and wish I could go back in time and make another one. I also heard about my step-brother, Logan’s commercial, I really want to see it! Well, I just want to say thank you again for being an awesome teacher and making English class fun. I will never forget that English class.


Sincerely, Bethany Frank

Thanks Mrs. Wiersema

Dear Mrs. Wiersema,
          It is teacher appreciation week and I would like to express my gratitude towards you. I always looked forward to your class and discovering the word of the day. I was infatuated with the smell of your room, the mixture of coffee and scented candles.  You are the reason that I enjoy reading now. I remember you got me hooked on The Lighting Thief series and The Hunger Games. I am so appreciative because I have gotten lost in so many great books, like The Help. 
          One of my favorite memories of your class was when we read those plays out loud and everyone had a different voice for their character. Especially the Frankin Stein play, I cried I was laughing so hard.  Normally when a teacher ensigns an essay, the usual response is a chorus of  "aw mans" or "ugh", but your essays were exciting and fun. Writing a paper about ancestry or the stranger than fiction was like setting out imagination loose. Another thing I loved about English class was making the commercials. I had a blast making my commercial as well as helping my friends make theirs.  I know the Erie Middle school will miss you when you retire almost as much as I will. Thanks for being the epitome of English teachers. 
Best wishes,
Peyton

Teacher Appreciation Week

Dear Miss Dillman
For this assignment, we were informed that it is Teacher Appreciation Week, we were each told to choose a teacher to appreciate. I could have chose my mom, or any of the other teachers, but honestly none of the other teachers have left a lasting good impression on me. I had you in middle school choir, and now again in high school choir, and in humanities, my freshman year.
The two years in Middle school that I had you, were a blast and I didn't think that I'd have another class that was as fun as those two years, but then the big day came, the first day of high school, my freshman year. The day was going pretty good, or so I thought. Then I got in choir, fourth period, that day, and when the bell rang that day I knew that it was going to be an awesome year.
A lot of people think that choir is just a blow off class, that we do nothing but sing the whole time, and that choir is a waste of a class period. But for those of us in choir, we know that it is way more than that. It is a family. It is our lives. &most importantly we are each others lives. I don't know what I'd do without my fourth period class every day. Everybody in there always has a smile on their face as soon as they step in foot in the room. It is not a blow off class, I think it's actually think that it is a harder class, because we learn so much over the year, that you must remember the rest of your music career.
I don't plan on doing anything musical in my future, but I know that without your famous line "Don't forget to be awesome", that anything is possible as long as we are us and we are awesome.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is, that you have put a huge impact on my high school years!
Thanks, not just for being an awesome teacher, but for being a huge part in my life. You're the 'mom' of out choir family, and without you, we wouldn't be as awesome as we are!

Sincerely,
Natasha Stubbs

Dear Mrs. Jacobs
    
      I would like to thank you for being a really great teacher and a really good person. I've had you since 1st grade until all the way up to 8th grade. I have some pretty good memories in your class like when we were in 4th grade and you spilled the coffee on the brand new carpet in the elementary. I also would like to thank you for teaching me how to read even though i hate to read now. I also liked how you had a good since of humor and always like to laugh.



Dear Mrs. Froeliger
    
      I Know I always made fun of your age in fact I still do, but doesn't change the fact that you are a good teacher and a nice lady. know matter how old you get. I would like to thank you for all of the homework that you helped me with in study hall. and for letting me beat you in a race during Isat week even though i can clearly beet you now. well i miss you and Mrs. Jacob

Matt McManus

Always Room For Improvement.

               Dear Mr. Neuherz,

Thank you for all the help you have gave me in art class.  I wouldn't have near the art skills I do today without your help. Believe it or not but the criticism you give my art only motivates me to do better. Thank you for giving me the push to do my best at art, and I can only hope to do better with your help. You also teach a very good lesson about talking behind others backs or talking about them period. But most of all thank you for showing me that there is always room for improvement and that you can always do better if you try harder.

                                                                  

                                                                                                          Sincerely, Danny Mask

Thank You Teachers

Dear Mrs Vincent,

Thank you for helping me with my reading skills if it wasn't for you i wouldn't be able to read very well. I remember doing all those fun activities and the games we played. It was the best class I have had :) I remember reading Alice and Wonderland on the Ipods. That was a blast.
   

Dear Mrs Wiersema,

Thank you for teaching me how to write a wonderful essay. If I never had you as a teacher I wouldn't be able to write such a good essay. And thank you for giving us Dumb- Dumb suckers they were really good:) 


Dear Mr. Lindsey,

Thank you for being such a great gym teacher. I always loved coming to gym class learning all the new games and my two favorite games were popcorn and blob tag. I remember how you always had those gummy bears in you office and share them with us, and how you have us those trivia questions and gave us prizes.


Sincerely,
Laura Lauritzen

Teacher Letter

Dear Mrs. Wiersema,

        I really did enjoy your class. It was always interesting, and those five minute mysteries you offered every once in awhile were fun to solve. The novels and short stories that we read in your class were always interesting also. Also you let us read Percy Jackson: and the lightning thief as a in-class read. When you announced that we would be reading that book I almost jumped for joy out of my seat. Everyone needs and should read that book and series. But overall, you were a really great teacher. You took your time to explain and helped each of us out when we needed it. I hope you have a happy retirement by the way. Drink lots of coffee (:

                
                                                                             Sincerely,
                                                                                    Noah Edgcomb

Thank You Teachers

Dear Mr. Nueherz,
   Thank you so much for being a great teacher. If it weren't for you, when you use to be in middle school, I probably wouldn't have anything to do with art. I love the new things i get to try out. And if I made a mistake you always believed I could fix it. You are very supportive, just wish some people would listen and respect you more.

Dear Mrs. Vincent,
  Thank you for helping me out with reading in middle school. I can still remember all the fun activities we use to do in your class. I remember the bean chairs and reading Alice In Wonderland on the Ipods. You actually did help me a lot with my reading skill. I'm not expert, but I am better than I was before your class.

Dear Ms. Dillman,
  Thank you for being such a great role-model and such a great teacher. You brought the best out of me in choir. If I wasn't in your class, every day would be a bad day. But when I walk into that class room I see all these friendly faces. Everyone is like a family in there. I love how we can all be silly, and laugh about it at the end (:  Thank you so much for everything.

Sincerly,
Courtney DeWitt

Thanks Mr. Klauer

Dear Mr. Klauer,

I will never forget the great times we had during my Middle School career. You were a huge influence on me, and were probably one of my favorite teachers of all time. Not only did we have fun during class, but also during sports, and eighth hour when Kenneth and I went up to wash the wrestling mats about 4 times a week. I hope that we'll see each other more before I graduate, because these past two years have gone by way to fast. So enjoy the rest of your years teaching, and good luck getting your doctorate(;

Sincerely,
Jace Bright

Teacher Appreciation Week

Dear Mr. A.

     I don't remember how nor why i ended up in your elementary classroom after school, along with the other children who were of similar mind but, I'm glad it happened. I remember the respect that was given to me, new and addictive i craved more of it, and learned to respect you the same. I remember the freedom you gave me, the freedom to speak my thoughts no matter how aimless they seemed, they were important to me. I remember the way you saw us all, not as nuisances or delinquents but as untapped potential with a bright future. I am very grateful for all of this, you instilled in me values and traits that i can dip into at anytime, even though i often choose not to. I won't forget you and i will always look upon my memories of our little afters school group fondly.

                                                                                                              Sincerely,
                                                                                                                      Zachary P. Howard

Thank You Mr. Kampe!

Dear Mr. Kampe,

  Hey there, Mr. Kampe! This is Abby McWilliams, I'm so sad to hear you are retiring this year. You are one of my favorite teachers from elementary, middle, and even high school now. I never really appreciated history until you were my teacher because I didn't think history could even be interesting. You made history really fun when you told stories about your past and it made me realize that the things we always read about actually affected some people. I never realized how I would actually use what you taught me in real life and I still haven't completely figure it out, but what I do know is that life is full of memories and that's all that matters. Your class gave me lots of memories I will never forget and that is why you are one of my favorite teachers.

Thanks Mr. Temple(:

Dear Mr. Temple,
Thank you for all that you have done for me, like being a great teacher and coach. In 5th grade you were my favorite teacher, you taught me how much science could be. You let us do some weird but fun experiments like the dissecting the cow eye and when you cut open the lamb's brain and you let us touch it and it was all squishy. As a coach you were my favorite one of all time. You taught us that in basketball it's not all about winning it's about having fun while you still can, but it kind of helped that we won. You also gave us another perspective of the game, a perspective that helped my through the next 3 years of basketball. Lastly, thank you for letting me come in last year and run with you guys to help me get in shape for basketball season, it helped a lot. Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Lexi FlominG

Thank you, Mrs. Wiersema.

Dear Mrs. Wiersema,
  I would like to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the Dum Dums. They were pretty good. I would also like to thank you for introducing me to The Hunger Games trilogy. The trilogy has become one of my favorite series of books ever. I am also grateful for you introducing me to The Kane Chronicles. That series is one of my favorites too. Thank you for deciding to let us read The Lightning Thief in reading class. I thought that was a very good book and the movie didn't even come close. I have twenty-seven words left for full credit, and I don't think it's possible to convey all of my gratitude within the remaining six words, but thank you for everything.

Sincerely,
Matthew Mallary

Thank youuu!!!(:

Dear Mrs. Wiersema,

    Since this is teacher appreciation week, I would like to personally thank you for being a wonderful teacher. Throughout my middle school experience, I learned so much from being in your classes. We were one of the last classes to have you as our student council leader and you're one of the reasons why I'm still in it now. I absolutely loved having you as an English teacher because you showed me how much I liked to write. Some of my favorite papers I got to write were in your class. Now that we don't have an actual Reading class I realize how much I miss it. We read some really good books in your class and now I barely have time to anymore:( Actually most of my middle school memories are from your class because I'm pretty sure my eighth grade year I had you for four out of our nine classes. I still remember the coffee smell your room had whenever I walked in and how we convinced you to give us dum-dums pretty much everyday. (:

Sincerely,

Courtney(:
