Emma's Thank-You Drawing
Emma loved her teacher, Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. Johnson was kind, and helpful, and made learning fun.
One day, Mrs. Johnson helped Emma with a difficult puzzle. Emma was so happy and thankful for Mrs. Johnson's help.
Emma wanted to show her appreciation, so she drew a beautiful picture of Mrs. Johnson and herself working on the puzzle together.

Emma felt happy too, knowing that she had made Mrs. Johnson feel appreciated.
