What educators are saying

My students enjoyed writing a letter to their future teacher. I did it the first week of school so I could get to know my students on a more personal level, without them having to share it in front of the class.
I used this resource to have the students introduce themselves to their teacher, who was out at the beginning of the year on maternity leave. Their letters turned out so cute!
