Today is Mrs. Yollis' birthday and her students and their parents surprised her with a party!
They had some delicious treats and a special birthday cake!
The biggest surprise of all left Mrs. Yollis dumbfounded. The class gift was an iPad!
This iPad is a wonderful complement to the technology already used in the classroom! Mrs. Yollis can't wait to make more classroom movies and blog posts on her new iPad!
Thank you parents and students for your support, your encouragement, and your generosity!
Happy birthday to you!

Dear Friends,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the kind birthday wishes! I am typing this comment on my new iPad! The screen is very bright and the touch typing screen is fun! I am having a great time learning! In fact, I can't stop giggling!
I'm going to try and publish a blog post from it today!
Thanks again for helping to make my day special!

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWe had fun sharing your birthday with you yesterday. We are glad you like the birthday gift.
You must have had a blast because you seems really surprised
What fun tricks or apps have you learned on the ipad?
We are sad to see this will be the last year our family will have you as a teacher but we will always have you as a friend. Have a wonderful summer and keep blogging!

Dear Vizvary family,
ReplyDeleteI am having a ball with this new technology! So far, I have sent a few emails and composed a few blog comments. I have been learning how to type and revise using the writing features.
Having all three of the Vizvary children, one as a second grader AND a third grader was a pleasure for me. You are correct, we will always be friends!
Thanks again for all your support over the years!

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday again! I love birthdays and I could not imagine a more fitting gift for you. The timing of your birthday - at the end of a year of technology and after the release of the new iPad - made the gift a no brainer. I think it was as fun and emotional for all of us to see your reaction as it was for you to open it.
Thank you again for everything this year. And may you have many happy years with your new toy.
Best,
Barbara

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) birthday!
I trust you are enjoying your iPad and I'm sure I speak for the many (jealous) parents in saying you deserve it!
You have meant so much to Ben this year, challenging him to do his best and strive to work just that much harder in everything he does.
Thanks to you he is playing piano and loving it.
We'll always remember this year and only hope Joss gets to have you as a teacher in two years!
Have a great summer!
Best,
Eric (Ben's dad)
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great gift from your generous students and their families. I'll be sure to show this post to my students to give them some ideas. (Just joking. Well, kind of.)
I know your students have had an amazing and unforgettable year of learning with you. So have I and all of the other followers of your blog. Thank you for making it so fun to learn from each other.
Enjoy your wonderful present!

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I want to wish you a belated Happy Birthday! We are so glad our daughter, Shannon, and grand-daughter, Kendall, were able to share it with you. Both of them were thrilled to be a part of your special day and delighted with your expression of joy when you received your birthday surprise. We want to thank you for the educational experiences you enabled Kendall and your other students to explore. You are an exceptional teacher and deserve our kudos and thanks!
With sincere gratitude,
