I love these types of letters. <br /><br />You continue to plant the seeds of learning throughout the world!

Our suburb is fairly large, plus I live about a 30 minute drive from school. Consequently, the visits are not as frequent as I would like.<br /><br />Yes, there are so many benefits of blogging, as we well know!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Mrs. Y♥llis<br />Mrs. Yollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553708205781596148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-75886819850638267272014-01-06T21:02:43.865-08:002014-01-06T21:02:43.865-08:00@ Mrs. Morris,

One of those special gifts a student gives a teacher.<br /><br />We do try our best, but never really know the outcome of our efforts. I so appreciate Emily's thoughtfulness. I have a long history with Emily's family. I had Emily and her three other siblings over the course of my teaching! In fact, I think Emily's older brother was in my very first class! :-) <br /><br />I do get visits from former students from time to time. Those visits really fill me up! Here is a link to a post about some visits one year: <a href="http://yollis365project.blogspot.com/2012/06/158-former-students.html" rel="nofollow"> Former Students Visit</a><br /><br />Thanks for a wonderful comment and give little Novalie a kiss from me!<br /><br />Warmly,<br />Mrs. Y♥llisMrs. Yollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553708205781596148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-63387028691608876872014-01-06T11:17:12.570-08:002014-01-06T11:17:12.570-08:00Dear Mrs Yollis,

A great way to start the New Year! <br />I am quite lucky, as we live in a small town so I usually get to hear what my former students get up to, and also bump into them from time to time.<br />Your letter provides yet another strand to Mrs Morris's 'Benefits of Blogging' on her Ed Tech blog - perhaps it should now include a link to your letter!<br />Mrs MonaghanMrs Monaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580874869403316436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-26215924772928419392014-01-05T17:31:12.920-08:002014-01-05T17:31:12.920-08:00Dear Mrs Yollis,

I can imagine you were delighted to receive it.<br /><br />I often wonder what my former students are up to and I hope that they remember just a little bit of the things I taught them. It seems like you made a big impact on Emily. What is especially nice is that she took the time to write and let you know.<br /><br />It certainly is important to integrate technology into the classroom from a young age and you have done a wonderful job doing just that.<br /><br />Do you ever get the chance to see former students who have moved on to other schools?<br /><br />Your friend in Australia,<br />Mrs MorrisKathleen Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380869422724335931noreply@blogger.com
