Thanksgiving Text Messages from Students

The first time I received masses of texts from students was when I was sick and had to cancel class. I got dozens of messages, all with some form of "oh no, Miss Sarah, are you ok?!?!" or "you should wear more clothing" or "or should drink more hot water" or "you should eat more apples", etc.

Yesterday, for Thanksgiving, I received another barrage of texts. I thought you might enjoy reading some of them.

"Dear Sarah, I am Joy. I think you are my friend and my teacher. We can play basketball when you are free? Happy Thanksgiving. May you have a nice day." 
I love the random basketball invitation in the Happy Thanksgiving message.

"Thank you, Sarah. Thanks for teaching me English. Wish you be happy every day! Mars"
"Wish you be happy every day" is the most common note I receive from students.

"Sarah, Happy Thanksgiving. I have you to be thankful for. It is a time when I tell you that I like you. Wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving! Abigale."
So sweet!

"Happy Thansgiving Day Sarah. By the way, I am happy to meet you in the basketball court! I am Clara."
Another basketball invitation. Apparently, in my classes, I have mentioned that basketball is my favorite sport. :)

"May your life be blessed with joy, love, and miracles. Just dig into the roast turkey. Wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving!"
So hilarious. Where do they come up with this stuff? And, in case you are curious, I did not get to 'dig into' any roast turkey. :(

"Miss Sarah, thank you for teaching us spoken English so conscientiously. Your class is definitely my favorite, it is so cool and we have really learned a lot. Thank you, thank you very much! From Clay. To my favorite teacher for Thanksgiving Day."
He is so trying to score brownie points including the "conscientiously". :)

Happy Thankgiving from the Middle Kingdom!
