Pilar, over at Montessorimatters , has written a post that I know many parents would find interesting. So, instead of posting this week, I've decided to ask everyone to follow this link and read her post for June 24.
Enjoy!

Saying Farewell
As most teachers know, this can be a very emotional time of year because it is the time when we say farewell to children and families who have been with us for many years - some after as many as nine years.
(There are also those who can't say goodbye graciously or courteously but I won't be discussing that kind of behaviour here. It has taken up enough of my time.)
This year, one family put so much thought and care in saying farewell that I felt compelled to share it on this blog. Each teacher received a framed letter from the family. Each letter was different and reflected the child's experience with each teacher. To say we were deeply touched would be an understatement.

So, at the risk of sounding less-than-humble, I'd like to post one or two of the letters here. (Of course, I have the family's permission and I won't be posting my letter because that really would be showing off!)
