My Project

Through the gift of the book A Letter from Your Teacher, students will receive a personalized, meaningful resource that fosters a deeper connection to their learning journey.

Build a Stronger Teacher-Student Relationship: The book will serve as a reminder of the supportive and caring relationship between teacher and student, helping to create an environment of trust and encouragement.

This strengthens students' emotional and psychological engagement in learning.

My goal with this project is to instill confidence by offering words of encouragement and guidance. The book will help students feel empowered to tackle challenges, overcome obstacles, and take ownership of their learning. It serves as a gentle reminder that they are capable and supported every step of the way.

The book will Promote Literacy and Communication Skills. The book itself will promote literacy by encouraging students to read, engage with the content, and perhaps even write their own letters in response. It helps foster writing and communication skills in a meaningful context.

My students are so special because as Kindergarten students, making meaningful connections will instill value in relationships for the future. It will provide them a safe foundation to their years to come.
