Dear Future Mr. W eller, By now, you have completed your eleventh year of teaching, and your fifth year at Mountain View. Congratulations! I hope you have made progress on the goals you set for yourself—for your classroom teaching, for your academic life, and for your health. In your classroom teaching, you have been more consistent about giving written feedback to students and making sure that you update School Loop weekly. You have also increased your parent contact—not only to let parents know about problems, but also about their children’s successes. At Cal State LA, you have completed three quarters toward your master’s program—only two to go! You have completed all of your classes at Cal State LA with grades of “A” or “A-minus.” For your health, you have improved your diet and exercised regularly—30 minutes a day, 6 days a week. You have lost 25 pounds and lowered your blood pressure. Now, it is time to set some new goals. Next year, you will continue to lose weight and complete your master’s program. What will your new classroom goal be? You need to give that some thought. It has been a good year! Congratulations on your success! Sincerely,

Current Mr. Weller
