Thank you note

My colleague sent me this email and copied it to the school staff. Hey, its always nice to be appreciated, yes?

I wanted to thank Mr. DeVona for hosting 7th grade Social Studies classes late last week! He led a lesson on being a skeptical reader using a variety of materials! In a time when all sorts of information is being thrown at students through the media, it is important for them to be able to evaluate that information. Using Woods’ Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, Mr. DeVona led a fascinating discussion using a variety of sources including Google Earth and scientific articles to help students to paint the picture of what that night was like so long ago! Students were engaged the entire time and the went on to do higher level thinking BECAUSE of it! Thank you, Mr. DeVona for your knowledge, your thirst for learning and the time and effort you spent pulling information together for us!  Thank you!
