“Dear Mrs. Pennington,
I just wanted to thank you for being such a helpful teacher! I recognize you were in a demanding time caring for your little one, especially with the hospital event! Thank you for giving each of us your time and energy so we could unlock the secrets of Pre-Algebra. I also appreciated your taking the time before class on Easter week to share with us about what Jesus did on the cross and what it still means today. One other thing I really appreciated about you this year, was that you would make us show the work on our problems, that you spend the time to go over every one of our wrong problems, and your policy of partial credit for wrong answers instead of a flat zero; it encouraged me a lot that I wasn't totally messing up. Hope you have a great summer!”
