Description

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 teacher’s 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 teacher’s classroom library. Read more

    • Creating a Classroom Connection Creates a Culture of Learning!
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Amazon Customer
I am a prek-2nd library media specialist. I feel picture books and read alouds are one of most important parts of our days in the classroom and at home. I feel read alouds allow our children a safe place to grow vocabulary, gain background knowledge and see themselves. I absolutely fell in love with "Our Class is a Family" by Shannon Olsen. It was a must for my school library so when A Letter From Your Teacher Came Out I knew I had to have it for my library and just for myself at home as well. A Letter From Your Teacher is that book that gives you all the feels. You walk away with that reminder of yes this why teachers do what they do. It is written as a letter to your students at the beginning of the year as a welcome note. It reminds them that as their teacher, I will be your cheerleader, your biggest fan. It reminds them that as your teacher, I want to know you and I will be there for you. I will lift you up and challenge you but in the end I will put my entire heart in being your teacher. This is a reminder of the passion and dedication that teachers take to the classroom each and everyday. It is the perfect beginning of the year book to create a culture of love and connection that sets up an environment for learning. I love both of these books so very much! ... show more

    • Excellent read !!
Format: Paperback
I am a big fan of this Author. Her books are relatable and easy to use with any grade level. I used her original book "Our class is a family", to open up the school year this year. It brought a sense of unity and a scope of our common goal into my virtual space. I can't wait to use this book next year, as my first week introduction. Also, I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Olsen visit with my class. Her affection with the students was wonderful. She got them moving and engaged. It was the best virtual experience I could have given my class in this crazy school year. If you have the books, schedule a visit you will not regret it. It is worth every penny. I also use these book at home. My daughter is 4 and can read My class is a family to me word for word. I was also able to schedule an author visit for her class, because they study authors, a new one each month. Her teacher was so grateful , and thought it was the best experience she could have given the children in Pre-k to foster their love for writing. So from pre-k to third grade the book is relatable and relevant for all!!! ... show more

    • Amazing book!
Format: Paperback
This book was the absolute sweetest thing to read to my students on the first day of school! We made predictions on what would happen next to determine if we were right!! A great activity to remind students they are not alone and it’s okay to be nervous on the first day!
