A letter to the teacher

[Anna232]

Do you agree with my corrections? I write two versions and try to correct my mistakes myself first.
I removed double space and added corrected sentences to make the sentences easier to read.

1.a I hope things are going well at the school since classes started.
1.b I hope things are going well since the start of the term.

2.a I am writing to report about inform you about my daughter's absence at the end of October for two weeks.

3.a First of all I would like to express an appreciation for my daughter's performance from all our family.
3.b First of all I would like to express our appreciation of my daughter's performance on behalf of our family.

4.a Since you have been teaching in our class, she has become interested in visiting school.
4.b Since you started teaching our class, she has become more intrested in classses.

I think you misunderstood what you were requested to do. We asked you to write one sentence per thread, not four per thread! Please pay attention to that next time.

1.a I hope things are going well at the school since classes started.
1.b I hope things are going well since the start of the term.

Is that "since" causal (meaning because) or temporal (from a particular point in time)?

2.a I am writing to report about inform you about my daughter's absence at the end of October for two weeks.

OK.

3.a First of all, I would like to express an appreciation for say that I'm very happy with my daughter's performance, and my husband and I thank you for your great teaching. from all our family.

I think that's what you're trying to say, right?

4.a Since you have been started teaching her, in our class, she has become interested in visiting enthusiastic about going to school.
4.b Since you have started teaching our class, her, she has become more interested in her classes.

See above.

When teechar said "... for each of the first four sentences, start a new thread in our Ask a Teacher section", he meant "Start a new thread for each individual sentence", not "Start a single new thread for four sentences".

Just to make it clear that there's not always just one correct answer, note that in 4a and 4b, where teechar said "Since you have started teaching her", I would have said "Since you started teaching her".
