Miss Conlee

i recently taught a lesson on the parts of a friendly letter. days later i received this from one of my students:
___________________________________________
Dear Miss Conlee,
You are my favorite teacher. You are awesome Miss Conlee. You rock. How do you like Lincoln? Your handwriting is good. I like the smile faces that you put on my paper.
How long are you going to be here? Are coming back? How old are you? What is your favorite color? What your favorite song or band?
Your student,
Kailee
