The letter I had to write to my child’s teacher

I was only in the classroom for 45 minutes, but that was long enough to compel me to write a letter to the teacher once I left.

I’ll be honest, I have zero qualifications as it relates to child education. My only qualification and reason for being in a kindergarten class that day is my oldest child is a kindergartner. He attends a public school and I was in his classroom as a parent volunteer.

His teacher had asked parents to sign up to help during the daily Literacy Center portion of the morning. I was excited to go in, see my son in his classroom, and meet his classmates. When I arrived, the class was sitting on the floor, singing, and drawing the alphabet in the air with their fingers. Mrs. G gave me a quick rundown on how I was to help. She introduced me to the class and then quietly asked the children to go to their first center.

I have been in my children's classrooms. They are all older now but when they were in elementary school I knew how their day worked. Some teachers have classrooms that work as well as this one. Others are complete chaos. It all depends on the teacher. Some are great, brilliant even. Others should be thrown out on their ear due to their utter incompetence.

I would have enjoyed one of my children having this teacher.
