Dear Parents & Boys and Girls
As many of you may have already heard I have decided it is
in the best interest of my family to resign from my position, and stay home
with Lily. I want to tell you how much I enjoyed the 3 months as your teacher,
yall were a joy to be with each day.
I have kept in touch with Mrs. P and she tells me that yall are learning
so much and doing well with your commitments, I am very proud of yall for
working so hard.
Do any of you remember the first day of school, and how
leaving mommy, daddy or grandma was kind of sad for some of you; parents do you
remember how you left your child with me and worried and some of you may have
shed a tear or two. Well that is
how I am feeling now that I have Lily, I cannot imagine being away from her and
when I think about it I get really sad.
Not only do I feel sad about being away from her we do not have family
here to help with child care meaning I would be leaving her unable to tell me
about her day with a stranger and that just terrified me as a new mom. It was always my plan to keep working
and be a working mom, I never imagined the emotions you go through when you
have a baby. For months my family
and I prayed for us to have this precious baby and we had a few problems,
finally we were blessed with Lily and I couldn’t be happier. I had always dreamed of being a teacher
and I loved it for the first 5 years and maybe one day I will go back to that
but right now I love Lily more and I hope you can understand.
I know that this may be difficult for some to understand and
that is why I plan on leaving most of the things I supplied for the classroom
until the end of the year so as not to take away anything from the children
that they are accustomed to. I am
willing to do anything to help make this transition as easy as possible. I plan
on coming to visit and talk about my leaving the classroom with our kids so
they can better understand.
Please understand I am only doing what is best for my family
and I am not intentionally trying to upset anyone. I know that whoever fills my position will do a wonderful
job. May you all have a blessed
rest of the year!
Sincerely
Mrs. Kitchen
