Sorry just came across this while I was looking for wedding poems but thought as those with kids may be sending their teacher a thank you card in the next day or so you may want to include this. It describes my son to a T

I know I wasn't the best behaved
That you've ever taught.
I know I got distracted
Much more than I ought

And I didn't pay attention
Every minute of the day,
And admittedly, my favourite time
Was going out to play

Yet determinedly you taught me
Putting me to the test,
Encouraging my efforts
As you made me do my best.

Some lessons were a challenge
And you taught me how to cope,
Each day I grew in confidence,
Ability and hope.

I really now appreciate
You made me learn thro' fun.
Thank you very very much (Miss Giles)
For all you've said and done.

arrr i like that - thats lovely (im a teaching assistant)
