Sample Apology Letter To Substitute Teacher
Dear Ms. Smith:
[1]
My name is Thomas Morlin. I am a student in
Ms. Tolerino’s classroom at Baylor Elementary
School.
[2]
On May 8, Ms. Tolerino could not be in
the classroom, so you came in as a substitute teacher.
[3]
Being a substitute is hard, because you don’t
know the students’ names and sometimes students act
silly when there is a substitute in the room.
[4]
During the class, I misbehaved.
[5]
I made a
face at you and told another student that I didn’t like
you. The other kids laughed.
[6]
I apologize for acting so badly when you were
teaching our class.
[7]
The next time that I have a
substitute teacher in my classroom, I will speak
respectfully and not make faces.
Sincerely,
Thomas Morlin
