I would like to dedicate this Teacher Appreciation Letter to one of the best teachers that I ever had. She helped me earn a Bronze Medal in UIL. Her name is Mrs. Mireles. We worked very hard every morning until the competition at South High School. We did impromptu speaking and I got a bronze medal. I was shooting for the gold, of coarse, but I was happy anyway and so was Mrs. Mireles. So, Mrs. Mireles, thank you and have a good Teacher’s Appreciation Day. Good bye.

I would like to thank Mrs. Garcia for teaching me and guiding me through the toughest and roughest spots that I have been in. I know I have done a little bad things but I have improved a lot. My teacher taught me what to do. Thank you and have a good Teacher Appreciations Day.

I would like to thank you for everything that you do for us. You make the 5th grade choir the BEST choir in Harlingen. You taught us how to read music and you are always funny. That is why I want to say thank you! I like it when you make good comments to us and I like that you make the 5th grade talent show for us.

My favorite teacher is Ms. Paradiso because she is very kind and sweet. She is like my second mom to me. She has taught me to write. So thank you Ms. Paradiso for teaching me a lot of stuff. I still have a picture of all of our class.

My favorite teacher of all is Mrs. D. Garcia (1st grade and 5th grade teacher). She taught me all that I know and supported me through my years in school. She was extremely cool and nice with all her students. She taught me to love science and social studies. That’s why she is my favorite teacher and I’m glad she was my teacher.

Dear Mrs. Salazar, I just wanted you to know… well, that YOU ROCK! I love to be in your class and find out what you are going to teach or do next. Thanks to you, not 1 or 2 but everyone passed the Reading TAKS! You are a very unexpecting and generous teacher, not to mention nice. Though you are a busy person, you still take the time to teach us, that’s what I like about you.

Dear Mrs. Garcia, you have been a very dedicated and helpful teacher. As your student, I would love to give you this letter in reward for teaching me so much. I passed my benchmark. Thanks for getting me confident. I am so ready for the last TAKS! What I like about you is that you are always there, not to strict and always ready for what comes your way. I also
