Hey are you ready for school because I know I am. Do you like your teacher? My teacher is nice and funny. Every Friday we get a Jolly Rancher. Sometimes he tells us jokes. My teacher is ready to go! Have you given your teacher a gift or card? It can be a compliment or a note with a positive message inside. My teacher likes math because we do a lot of math and math homework. I have added a new math link, Mental Maths to my site. I challenge you to try it!
