Dear
 Teacher,
Love Me
Make me Feel Special
Make me Feel Included
Make me Feel Valued
Smile for Me
…happy you’re happy…
Tell me to teach me




           …happy to see me
…happy that I am here
Involve Me
Tell me about our work together
How can I be of help …
… and mean it genuinely
Notice Me
See all of me…
…my emotions
…my laughter
…my curiosity
…my anticipation
See my “rights”
… I will work on my “wrongs”
Teach me
PLEEZE…
Don’t just tell me what you know
Show me what I need to know
Show me how to do it well
Help Me
…when it gets hard
…to persevere
Help me know it matters
Excite Me
I came to you…




           in love with learning
Keep me Excited!
Show me the fun!
Show me your fire & passion
Promise Me!
Promise you can…
Promise you will
Promise you are ready to…
Love Me
Help Me
Engage Me
Excite Me
and Teach Me
I’m Ready!
I Want to Learn
I Want to be Your Student!
I Promise
I will return the favor
…with my attention
…with my focus
…with my heart
I Promise
I will show you what I can do
I will show you who I can be
Do You Promise?
Promise me?
