Dear Mrs. Melson,

First of all I just wanted to say thank you so much for being my first grade teacher. I had a lot of fun in your class. You taught me a lot and knew how to make me happy on my saddest days. I also wanted to thank you for the experiment. You know the one where we dunked eggs in a bunch of sodas and coffees and then brushed them with a tooth brush. Anyway, just thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Alex

Congratulations, Students! Your comments were sincere and meaningful and I know that your new friends at The Court were touched by your interest. Thank you for your willingness to learn about a very difficult time in our country’s history and for representing Gattis Elementary in such a positive way. I’m proud of you! Mrs. Wallingford

I loved the whole thing, but my favorite part was working on the project the most because I loved picking out the decorations for it even though I didn’t show it to the elderly people. ( I was sick.) But when we were singing I thought the elderly people loved the shark song the most. This experience made me feel that old people are fun to be around.

The nursing home was fun. I got to interview many people. I got to interview a man. I liked singing in front of the elders. The skits were fun, and they thought they were funny. They thought the Baby Shark song was the funniest. Out of the four visits, I liked this one the most.

I think all of your students are very lucky to have been given the opportunity to have this learning experience. Our senior citizens have so much knowledge and experience to share with our young students. You are brilliant for having the insight to see the value of this experience.
Thank you for sharing your passion for teaching with our kids. You are AWESOME!

I really enjoyed going to the nursing home. I liked doing the skits, singing, interviewing, and just visiting with the elderly. I learned a lot about Victory Gardens. I thought nobody actually planted a victory garden in Texas, but there were people that did. I felt more confident about talking to other people that I didn’t really know.

I really enjoyed going to the nursing home because we got to interview people from World War II and talk about their experiences from World War II. I also liked singing and doing the skit and performing for the elderly people. I think they also enjoyed the Baby Shark song the most.

Dear Mrs. Ludden,

thanks for the field trips to the court .I enjoyed talking to the elders. We got to be very interested and inspired by their stories.Well,those stories were unimaginable because the elders lived in a completely different time period. I guess it’s true that the elders lived in WW2, a time when people had to risk their lives to survive. That was my favorite field trip.

Thanks again,
Sophia
