Is it enough??

Dear Students,

As your teacher I am always asking myself this question...
Did I teach you enough?
Did we do enough hands on materials?
Did we practice enough?
Did I show you all the possible ways to learn this one TEK?

I want you to know that I believe the answer to this question is YES!! I did enough because YOU are enough!

You are enough every single day!!!

You come to my class and let me teach you things that your amazing little 10 year old brains can't even comprehend because we are trying to raise the rigor.

You write papers about subjects you have NO idea about because you have not had the  same experiences as other kids in Texas.

You come to school dealing with life...a life no child should have to deal with, however you still come and do your best!

At the end of the day...I know you are doing your best and I hate it with my whole heart that we have to take this test.

So please believe me when I say...I believe in you and NO MATTER how you do on that stupid test tomorrow YOU ARE ENOUGH!!!

Love always,
Your Fourth Grade Teacher
