End of the Year Things

The end of the year can be overwhelming with packing up the classroom, records, report cards etc. I have a hodgepodge of letters that I use every year that I wanted to share. The first letter, or poem I should say, is a poem from me to my students. I put this in their portfolios which has all of their writing and crafts we made throughout the year. I put this poem on cute paper with a picture of me and the student at the bottom. I found it on an a to z teacher forum but could not find an author.

I also send a letter to my parents thanking them for all of their support. I encourage them to continue working with their child over the summer. I attach a kindergarten high frequency list to the  following letter:

All of the teachers have to turn in a welcome letter at the end of the year that is sent to our new class in August. This is a part of our checkout list so I put it in my May folder so I can copy it onto cute paper and turn it in! I put a picture of myself on it so the kiddos and parents will recognize me at meet the teacher day!

Feel free to download all of the letters. I kept the summer letter and welcome letter in word format so you can change them to fit your classroom! Enjoy! I would love to hear what you do with your students or send to parents at the end of the year!
