Letters to Miss D.

Needing to fill a few minutes between lessons this afternoon, I asked my students to write me a letter when they finished their book work. Here's a general sampling:
Ms.D You are a WaNDrfull tech you are the Best techr in the Wlrd thank you For teching me Math Langig AnD BiBl.
But not spelling, apparently.
The distracted nature of the following letter is a blend of her butterfly-like personality and the rising action of the classroom at the time of writing:
To. Miss. Djerf.
I had a fun this Summer! I mist you that handwriting book is silly! I wish this was quieter. How was your Summer? I bett it was good. You should make a roull that people must be quiet exsept if you have a quwestden, coment or anser.
Rocken science lecen!
We should have rules? In a classroom? Are you kidding? But glad you liked the science lesson.
The following is probably my favorite:
Dear Miss D I really like your singing. And you read us great books. you write great. And you draw great
Yep, I'm forming a cult. The cult of the Miss Djerf followers. (Our motto: So we don't exactly listen to what she's saying, but we think she's great...) I think I'll pick this student to be the leader; he can spell.
