Happy Children's Day

Dear Pupils of 5.8,

Today we celebrate Children's Day and I would like to take this opportunity to write a message for you. Children show appreciation to their teachers' on Teachers' Day and I thought it is only right that I show my appreciation to you.

God has sent all of you to be under my care this year. It is my calling to teach you. I may not be the best teacher you have ever had. I hope that I have made a little difference in your life somewhere along way this year.

Please forgive me if I have stressed you up, piling your desk with mountains of work. Please forgive me for scolding you. Please forgive me if I have placed unreasonable expectations on you. But. :) it is part and parcel of my job. : )

You have spiced up my life indeed. You have made me laugh, almost cry , upset, angry or even driven me up the wall. I have made you laugh, cry, upset, angry or even driven you up the wall too. But, let bygones be bygones. We will move on from where we are and move to greater heights together.

We have a common goal - to win a victorious race, to finish Primary Five gloriously. Let's work hand in hand to achieve this goal. More worksheets, more mock exams, more scoldings, more nagging, more late nights. Yes, you say you will bear all these and thank you I heard you say it from the cyberway. : P It is only a few more weeks left to SA2. So let's do it well. Believe in yourself that you can do it, just like the Penguin who believes that he can fly and did it. Always tell yourself that, and never underestimate what you can achieve with strong will-power, for nobody in my class is incapable. Hear me?

Thank you 5.8 for being who you are. Thank you for making my work bearable so much so that I am still a teacher today. Thank you for coming to supplementary classes faithfully. Thank you for doing your homework. There is just so much to thank you and I know I can go on and on. Anyway, I just want to say a Big Thank You For being a Fabulous Bunch.
