Note from Jackson's teacher

I wanted to share with you something that happened today:

We went to the "Bucket Fillers" assembly this morning and learned about
how important it is to always be kind and caring in life. When we
returned to my class I had all the students sit in a circle. First they
said one nice thing to the person next to them. Then students we able
to choose someone to say something kind to. Jackson had the most
beautiful comments said to him. Out of all my students he had the most
students respond about how they value him as a friend. When the
activity was done he was speechless. He gave all his friends big hugs.
It was wonderful!

Ms. Hollerbach

A sad day for daddy...

The principal called today to say that Jackson had been roughed up by
a boy in the bathroom. Jackson is okay. Dad is not. Dad will.

From Jackson's Teacher

Mr. and Mrs Gifford,

Today I was teaching the students about maps and I showed them where I taught before in Inkster. Well, when the lesson was done Jackson came up to me and said, "Ms. Hollerbach... I am so glad that you don't work at your old school anymore. I am glad you took a job here so I could have you as my Kindergarten teacher."

Jackson Note To School Counselor

(Jackson speaks, daddy types)

Dear Mrs. Sochacki,

Nobody plays with me at recess. It seems like nobody really likes me at recess. Cause they never play with me at recess. I feel so so sad.  Mrs. Sochacki can you help? Cause I don't know what to do at recess.  I hope that you can help me. love jackson

Hi Jackson,
This is Mrs. Sochacki. I am sorry that you have been feeling lonely at recess time and I will be happy to help you. Let's meet together and talk about it. If I do not meet with you on Thursday, I will meet with you on Friday. I am sure that we make recess more fun for you. Thank you for sharing how you feel. Mrs. Sochacki
