Thank you for being my first ever official students in a classroom! The students i’m use to have sand in their shorts and sand between their toes. (…from beach volleyball!)

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you guys this year. I’ve made some great friends among you “kids”, and i’ve learned a TONNE about what the latest fashion is, what the proper lingo is…

Like…”greezy”…and…”soft”….

You’ve taught me over and over that you are your own person and you want to be heard and you want to be cared about.

I hope you felt listened to, and I hope that I was able to fulfill some of your needs during my stint here in the stinkiest and messiest room at West Humber. Thanks for letting me in and not treating me like you treat the supply teachers you talk about!

As I continue on in my teaching career, I would absolutely appreciate a bit of your effort to fill out this survey and give you the opportunity give me some feedback as a student.

I’m not interested in hearing how the teachers or principals think I did, I want to hear it from those of you who count.

And I promise you I will take your responses to heart and will make sure that I make the adjustments I need to, to make it an even better experience for my next group of kids.

Three USB keys went missing last class from the camera drawer.

It is very important that these USB keys are returned as they contain culminating assignments from Mr. Silva’s classes.

I’m not interested in finding out who took it, I just
feel horrible that it was taken during one of our classes.

Please just return them by putting it by my keyboard on my desk.

Thanks,
Miss Shen
