A Letter From Your Teacher: On the Last Day of School (The Classroom Community Collection)

Bought two books for my elementary age GS's. Both teachers wrote a letter in books for each GS. I'm saving books for the boys to give to them one day. They both had WONDERFUL teachers that i'm sure they'll not forget.

Such a great book! I read it every year as it’s a staple in my room!

Get your tissue ready. This book will definitely have you in tears. I read it on the last day of school to my class which happened to be my first year. I had them all sign it on the last day

When I discovered this book on Instagram I just had to order it. The first time I read this book after taking it out of its package I cried. Then the day had arrived that I was looking forward to and dreading, our last day. During our story time I pulled out this book and instantly my voice cracked and tears started coming out. My Teaching Assistant was fighting back tears herself. I started reading the book and sure enough I cried, my students where amazed over the fact I was crying “Omg! She really had tears in her eyes” one kiddo said “We really are like a family and she does love us” another kiddo said. Y’all my students are in PreK and they understood what this book meant and shared so many found memories we had with one another during the year. I have a feeling I’ll probably cry every time I read this book but they will always be happy tears because this story truly touches the heart.

Normal size paperback of the cutest end of the year book! My First Graders made mailboxes out of paper bags and wrote each other letters the last week of school and on the last day- I read them this book and gave them all personalized letters from me! They loved it

Did some of my students cry while I read them this story on the last day of 4th grade? Yes. Did I start to get emotional as well? Of course.I read this story, as well as wrote and read aloud my own version of the letter, adding in our own personal anecdotes and memories from the eventful year. After reading my personal letter to the class, I gave each of them a copy, & had them write a Letter to Your Teacher on the Last Day of School, which I 10/10 recommend doing. Reading those letters after they all departed for their summer vacations was a really sweet experience.

This book is so sweet and is perfect for wrapping up a school year. As a second grade teacher, I love this book and the message it gives my students. It provides a message of community, growth, and love.

Love this book. I know it’s also on YouTube but there’s nothing like reading it out loud to your class.
