You've Got Mail!

I love to hear from our Chinese students; here's a letter I just received from Elaine...it made me totally smile.  She referred to last year when I taught them about Christmas caroling.  We went outside to sing to the students as they were heading home from classes.  Fun times indeed!

Also, she refers to Allen as handsome, which he is, but my students always commented on how handsome he was.  That makes me smile even more. 

Oh, Elaine, and all you other 400 students that we taught over the course of the year, you have left a lasting impact on my life!

Dear Mrs. Hackworth:

Merry Christmas!

Sorry for writing to you so late. But the truth is that each of us misses you very much. I think you must feel the same.

Christmas is coming; I still remember the last year you spend your day in china. How time flies, right? We think of the day you let us sing jingle bells on the pathway of our school. We still remember you taught us how to use the elf. (Laughing…) All of these memories are so sweet. Thank you for bringing us such an unforgettable year. We would treasure what you have taught us forever.

Now we all are preparing for the final exam now. We really miss your classes, your funny talks as well as your final test. We have so much that we want to talk to you. But maybe next time we can talk more.

Wish you and handsome Allen merry Christmas again! And please give my best regards for your family.

Best wishes!

Elaine


note: this picture below is not the caroling from Elaine's class...this picture - from a student - was from another class (a very big class) when we went Christmas caroling down the hall to the technicians.  It's just an example of how I taught them about Christmas caroling.....
