Last time I got one, one of the signatures on the letters (copied off the board, obviously, but at first grade I expect that!) was "Brenda" which struck me as very strange for a first grader in 2009 and if I saw it in a book I would never believe it.

These letters were typed up and then decorated and signed in bright crayon. The most stand-out name has to be Elba. Ah, able was I ere I saw Elba...!

I'm also fond of Alisha's, who decorated hers with six-sided stars. Either she's Jewish, or she doesn't know how to do five-pointed stars yet. Hard to say :)

Today was super windy and rainy (a tree at the corner is leaning all the way down and likely to fall, so our street is blocked off at that end!), so getting this packet in the mail (it's true what they say about neither wind nor rain nor gloom of night, because I sure wouldn't go out in this rain, not for love nor money!) really made me smile.

Donorschoose makes me smile, too!

I am a first grade teacher in rural Georgia. I have had some projects funded this year (www.donorschoose.org/phobby), and have tried to make the thank you notes from my students special for people who gave so generously to us. It's nice to know that people really do like the thank you notes as much as the kids enjoy writing them. Even though they weren't from my kids, I'm glad they made you smile.
