What you need:
- Paper
- Pen or pencil
- Crayons and/or markers
What to do:
- Unless you already know it, or school has already begun, find out your child's teacher's name before the first day of school.
- Discuss with your child what she would like her teacher to know about her before the school year starts. Possible topics include: what she liked about last year, things she would like to learn about this year, hobbies, family members, friends, or even favorite colors.
- Write the letter. After finishing, your child might want to draw a picture to go along with the letter or decorate it with stickers.
- Your child can take the letter with her the first day of school or give it to her teacher after school starts.
