Teacher Ingga is leaving

Teacher Ingga is leaving Little SchoolHouse. I am going to miss her so much. She is going to teach in another school. Mommy said it is because Teacher Ingga is going to have a baby, so it will be more convenient for her to teach in a school nearer to her house.

I have a new teacher - Teacher Huszi.

Mommy and Daddy help me buy a gift for Teacher Ingga, it is a necklace with a pendant comprising of two linking hearts - the big heart is Teacher Ingga and the small heart is me!

Mommy also dropped Miss Ann and Teacher Ingga a note to compliment Teacher Ingga and show our appreciation for all that she has done.

Dear Ann & Ingga

It is with great sadness that I read your notification about Ingga's transfer. As much as I understand Ingga's reasons for making thatdecision (I'm sure it wasn't an easy one to make), I can't help but feel sad about this.

Since the early days when Tessa first joined Little Skoolhouse, Ingga has left an impression as a passionate, dedicated, caring and nurturing educator. We went through Tessa's crying days with Ingga's reassurance that she is learning and developing well physically, mentally and socially.

Ingga's passion, commitment and genuine concern for the children is shown through her willingness to use her personal, off-work time to update the class shutterfly site.

Parents often are unable to participate in our kids' growing up all the time. Ingga bridged that gap and increased our participation through the photos and videos taken in school. Gevin and I will look forward joyfully to new updates and we know that our little girl is in safe and wise hands that will, not only, nurture her but also discipline her to learn the right morals and values.

On many accounts we have toyed with the idea of switching Tessa to a childcare nearer to home, but we have not been able to break the relationship we foster with the staff and teachers at LSH. Personally for me, it is because I have grown to rely and trust Ingga so much that selfishly I did not want to change.

I am now a teacher myself and I believe that a good teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart. We started off as strangers and we are now friends. Ingga touches our hearts and gives our family this very valuable gift called friendship.

Ingga, thank you for everything and we wish you happiness, good health and success in all that you do. We will come by to visit baby when he arrives.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at LSH. All of you gave Gevin and I the peace of mind to leave Tessa in your hands while we face challenges at work. We look forward to working closely with Huszi!

Cheers,
Joanna

Teacher Ingga said she burst out crying after reading the email. She is very touched.

I look forward to visiting Teacher Ingga's baby. It is a boy -  a baby brother. :)
