A breath of fresh air.......

School has been in session for 3 days. I haven't talked with Laura's elective teacher yet, hadn't had a chance. This afternoon, this is the email she sent me, unrequested, no meetings, just her doing what hopes to be a wonderful job. She sure is starting out right.


Hello Mrs. Hughes,

This is ****** *****, Laura's Fashion Tech 1 teacher. In order to help Laura succeed in class I wanted to take the time to give you some information about the class beyond the parent letter.

This week in class we are covering fashion history. The class is making a poster which displays their favorite era in fashion history. After talking to Laura about the project she said she would enjoy getting her pictures out of magazines that I have in class and then display them on her poster. For this project she will need a small posterboard (11X14). If there is a problem in getting this let me know and I can see about getting one for her.

I have attached the review sheet for Chapter 5 and this evening I will e-mail over the PowerPoint slides.

I will contact you on the days which I send any work with Laura so that you know to expect something from her. I will also e-mail over any information that we go over in class. I thought it may be helpful if you can also help her with the information outside of class.

I am also in the process of creating projects for Laura to do in class. If there are any sewing related or fashion related projects that you think Laura would enjoy please let me know. So far, after talking with Laura today in class, I will be helping her make a tie blanket throughout the semester. I also thought a hand sewn pillow would be a fun project for her.

Laura has been a pleasure to have in class this week and I look forward to a great semester with her.

Thank You,

Wow!!! Let us know how this year goes...then you could clone her and pass her around to all the other parents on the board with school age children.. maybe by the time my babies get to school, the clones would have taken over! I wouldn't even have to worry. Sounds like you are off to a good start.

Oh, I only pray that most teachers are like that... Ive heard not so wonderful things in our school district.. but then again My friend who told me these things is not a friendly mom and does not have a child whom people loves to death! Maybe itll be a bit differnt for us... LOL
Cant wait to see projects... if she really like doing it perhaps she can make them and sell them on ebay or to me whatever! lol
