⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This was a perfect way to end my year! I used this as a culminating activity with my Human Connection unit and asked my students to write a thoughtful letter to an influential teacher. I had them personally deliver them as well to get them to "connect" with that teacher. It was so touching to read their letters and to hear the feedback from my colleagues. I will use this every year!" -- Reads Well With Others (TPT Seller)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I ended last school year with this activity, and it was such a positive way for students to not only reflect, but share with a teacher what they learned and appreciated. My fellow teachers were so thankful for receiving kind letters after a difficult year. I will definitely do this every year!" -- Rachel R.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Terrific Resource! I used this on the last full day of classes with students and paired it with a picture they could color of that teachers favorite animal. They were able to chose their favorite teacher or class and the questions on the sheet were helpful as they created their letter." -- Elizabeth L.
