Dear Mr. Cradic

Please give feedback.
This is a letter to my fourth grade teacher Mr. Cradic.


Dear Mr. Cradic,

Remember that time when you had me in class and you got really mad a me because I was acting out the poems youi were reading out loud to the class? I know we all laughed about it afterwards, but I just wanted to appologize. I know I wasn't the best student you've had, I just couldn't help being the class clown. I loved more than anything to make people laugh. Oh, remember that time when Annie fainted in class? I was so scared. I remember you just scooping her up in your arms and running her down to the nurses office, and when you got back you clmed everyone down. I want to thank you for that. Not many people have been able to make me feel better about something so scary. After that I thought of you as some kinda hero or something, saving Annie's life like that. Remember when you would always tell me I could do better on my art projects, that way I would do my best on them? You influenced me so much. I always felt confident in my school work while in your class. I remember you giving me your address before I moved to Germany. You told me i could only have it if i sent you some art work. Im sorry I neve did. I kinda gave up on art, Im sorry about that too. I know you had some high hopes for my artistic abilities.
I was just writing to thank you for all you did for me my fourth grade year. You have been the most influencial, insperational teacher I have had thus far. When peolpe ask who my favorite teacher is yoo always come to mind, and whether they know you or not, you're the teacher I always tell them. Thank you for being the best teacher a fourth grader could ever have! I'll never forget you.

Yours Truely,
Torey Smith
