My daughter really enjoys them in her class

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!

This was a gift for my grandchild who loves to read. The book was so cute & came just as he was entering VPK so the illustrations made him laugh about all he'd experience there. He loved this book.

This was a paperback so I should’ve have expected it to come a little bit beat up. Still perfectly fine to read to the kids but bent to point it can’t be fixed

This is a great story for a 3—to 7-year-old going to school or a new school for the first time. It's about getting ready to go to school for a less-than-enthusiastic person—a great read.
