Dear _________,
This third-grade year was absolutely incredible! Under your patience and guidance, Gina academically grew leaps and bounds this year. Her test scores were up in all areas, and my husband and I are so pleased with her progress. I just wish you could move up a grade along with the kids so you would be Gina’s fourth-grade teacher. Thank you for all the love, time and energy you put into teaching this great group of kids. You are a fantastic teacher, and we will miss you next year.
Have a wonderful summer.
