For my Cooke Kids I will miss you!
Some of you remember me from kindergarten or first grade… Yes, that is Mrs. Skinner’s classroom, fifth graders.
For many of you I was a brand new face. You wondered who this new librarian wasand if you would have any fun this year.
I wish I could be there for the last library day! Instead I am stuck doing inventory somewhere else. SCAN ME!
So I wanted a chance to tell you all… • How proud I am of you when I see you working hard even when something is difficult. • How happy I am that I was able to spend my first year teaching with you. • That you have many gifts to share with the world now and in the future. • What a blessing you have been to me. • And now for some advice…
#1 Persevere • Believe in yourself and your ability to do what needs to be done. • It might not be easy to do, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it. • Hang in there! You can do it!
#2 Type like this Seriously, I will know if you aren’t. Put your fingers on the home row!
#3 Be good and do good • Make good choices. I will be at Steele for one morning a week and I had better hear good things about you! Be good! • Do good things for others. Help people have a better day. The little things you can do add up to a lot of good in the world.
#4 Read! • What kind of librarian would I be if I didn’t give this advice? • There are hundreds of good reasons why! Here are four: • You will get smarter and have a better vocabulary. • You can escape reality for a time. • You will be able to learn other things more easily. • Reading is awesome.
#5 Be patient with yourself and others • New things take time to learn. That is OK and normal—for everybody! • New friendships take time to build. • The things that take some time are usually the best when they are finished. • Keep trying. Don’t give up on yourself. • Keep encouraging your classmates and friends.
I am sure there is more good advice… …but you are probably tired of hearing it right now!
So, goodbye for now. • I will see you around town and at school. • I am so glad that I was able to teach you this year. • My life would not be the same without you this year. • To those of you who remember me back when I was Miss Gehring, an extra thank you. You inspired me to go back to school to become a teacher and librarian. • I love you all! (Like a teacher. )
