Dear Mrs. Brown,

From the moment Gemma entered your classroom she was a child transformed. In the past Gemma was not fond of school, but your teaching has certainly turned that around. Not only has Gemma become excited about subjects that she never enjoyed in the past, but she is now talking endlessly about the kinds of work she can plan for the summer! We have stacks of the books that you have recommended piled all around the house, and even if Gemma only gets through half of these it will be a huge difference from the days in which she only ever read emails.

I know that Gemma can be a bit of a handful in the classroom, but your ability to get her to sit quietly and focus on the task at hand has been nothing short of miraculous. As you know, her grades have improved dramatically this year and she now quotes you all the time. "The sooner you start the sooner you'll finish" is heard daily in our house, and sometimes more often than that. Even better, Gemma truly does follow this advice so we no longer have the procrastination problems that we once did. That alone has made a huge difference to homework time.

We can't thank you enough for the work that you have done with Gemma this year. We were so lucky for Gemma to have been assigned to your class, and the students in your class next year are in for a real treat. I can only hope that Gemma continues on in the direction in which you have pointed her.

Warmest Regards,

Susan Smith
