Thanks for a great semester!

Just wanted to thank all my current students for a great semester! I love teaching this class and you guys were an amazing group! I'm going on maternity leave until January of next year, so I doubt I will be updating this blog very frequently. But feel free to check in occasionally as I'll likely post a few things here and there. I'll for sure post pictures of new baby Coyne when he is born! Wow, we REALLY need to get serious about names...only 1 months left!

Remember, to keep being a critical consumer of media, and keep in touch! If you haven't added me on Facebook and want to, I would love to see what you are up to!

Nate's very own pokemon card

The kids were already in bed, so I was slightly annoyed when Nate came out and gave me this note (in the original spelling)

Dear Mom,

I promest my teecher that I would give her a suprize today. And it is going to be a Pokemon named Anna Pulgiano. She will be so surpized and it is a nice thing to do. So I need to make it right now. Love Nate. P.S. I am going to wright a nice note to her.

He did his super cute smile thing as well, and I couldn't say no! So we went to http://www.mypokecard.com/en/ and Nate made her a Pokemon card just for her. Here it is:

We found a picture of his teacher on his school webpage (slightly distorted on the card) and made the card in about 10 minutes. He printed a back to the card as well and pasted it to the front, so it even looks legit. 

Here is the note he wrote to his teacher:

Dear Miss Pugliano,

Thank you for being the best teacher ever. And thank you for teaching us. Love Nate. P.S. I love you.

And then there is a little drawing of two people made out of hearts, one that says "you", and one that says "me".

I thought this was SUCH a cute use of media tonight, and I hope his teacher loves it tomorrow! I'm just saying....how come none of you make a Pokemon card for me? :) Ah, the joys of being a 2nd grade teacher!
