Email from Amelia's Kindergarten Teacher

Ms. Padilla is Amelia's Kindergarten teacher and sent me the email below today. Reading it makes me so proud of the wonderful girl that Amelia is. I am posting this because it is very special and I want to hold onto it forever.

Hi Danae',I hope you guys had a great Christmas and a very happy New Year! Amelia shared with me that Santa brought her the pink IPOD she had been wanting. How exciting! :-)

I just wanted to share a cute story! Today we began a unit on living/nonliving things and we were beginning to review what things we need to live. One student raised her hand and said, "air," another, "water," and Amelia got super excited and raised her hand so I called on her and she yelled out, "LOVE!" :-) I just thought it was the sweetest response!

Also, we got a new student today who is going through a tough time and Amelia was great with her! She was a wonderful helper and I think the girls will probably grow to be good friends. Amelia helped make this new little girl feel extremely welcomed. You and Frank should be very proud of the sweet, independent, and intelligent daughter you are raising.

Sincerely,
Katy
