would you let your yr1 daughter write a card to the teacher from holiday, or is that embarrassing?

[emkana]

dd1 made a card for her teacher during half term, and wrote "I miss you" in it. Which is funny really because up till now she has cried every morning going into school.

She insisted we send it and we did it, do you think I should have discouraged it?

I would have sent it

If DD wanted to send it then yes, I would. At that age the teacher would def not have thought it odd or strange, and in no way embarrassing either. Many of the girls in DD's Y2 class have, over the last couple fo years, made pictures, cards and letters etc with similar setiments.

Glad to hear you think it was okay

How sweet - of course you should have sent it.

DS2 (Y1)sent DS1 a letter during half term (posted with the help of Granny) saying "DS! is a loosu"

lol

When dd1 was in Y1 her little gaggle of friends all adored the teacher, and used to spend the weekends writing her little notes saying: "Dear Miss W, I love you, you are the best teacher in the world, love from dd1"

When ds was in Reception he had such a massive crush on his teacher that he was inconsolable when she took 4 weeks off to to home to Australia for a family wedding. He'd wake up sobbing at night, and in the end we had to go into the school secretary's office, ask for Ms G's home address so that he could write a letter telling her how much he loved her.

Dd2 on the other had, was roundly told off on Monday for saying 'see ya' to her Reception teacher at home time, rather than 'Goodbye Miss E'. Little toad.

Of course you should send it-the teacher will love it!

We teachers love to be appreciated! We love receiving nice cards, cards made out of bits of torn exercise book paper covered in breakfast, old xmas cards with the original names crossed out and ours inserted...etc etc!

Definitely right to send, don't worry, it's sweet!
