From the author and illustrator of Our Class is a Family, this heartwarming picture book helps teachers in welcoming their new group of students on the first day of school.Through a letter written from the teachers point of view, students are given the message that their new teacher is someone they will get to form a special bond with. Their teacher is not only there to help them academically, but also to cheer them on, and to provide a caring, safe environment for them to learn and grow.During back to school time, teachers are wanting to set the tone for the new year. In addition to establishing rules and procedures, they are ready to get to know their kids and start building positive relationships. This is a read aloud that helps with laying that foundation, and it serves as a great starting point for get-to-know-you activities and class community building.There is a blank space on the last page for teachers to sign their own name, so that students know that the letter in the book is coming straight from them.With its sincere message and inclusive illustrations, A Letter From Your Teacher is a valuable addition to any elementary school teachers classroom library.
