Mrs. Zapolski

About a month ago I wrote a letter to my kindergarten teacher.  I told her that my youngest had just finished kindergarten and all year long she asked me about my memories of kindergarten.  I told Mrs. Zapolski that I remembered playing house and dressing up, I remembered singing with her playing the autoharp.  I even remembered some of the songs she taught us like, Buffalo Gals and the little chant about "everybody says, 'sit down, sit down.'"  I thanked her for being my kindergarten teacher and for giving me such wonderful memories of kindergarten.

She wrote back!  This is her letter:


Isn't she lovely?  It made me happy to learn that she is still teaching.  I think I'll add her to my Christmas card list.

She IS lovely! What fun things both to write and to get such a sweet reply.

K. I'm totally envious. I wrote to Mrs. Zapolski several years ago, and she didn't write back. Of course, I asked her to investigate the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Maybe that was just coming on too strong.

You surely know how to make a teacher's day. And since I'm a teacher, it made mine too. Thanks so much for sharing!

I love those kinds of letters. I've written a few of my own to past professors and it's been a wonderful experience.
