Every year I fall in love with my first graders and miss them over the summer. It's hard to spend everyday with a child watching them grow and learning their fun personality and then... that's it, the year's over, maybe we'll see each other at Walmart! :) So to help us stay in touch I give each child a piece of stationary and a stamped envelope with my address. I tell them it's my special gift to them because I want to know all the amazing things they are doing over the summer. I usually get 5-10 back depending on the year. Still, it's really fun for me to get their letters and drawings (just like they made me during the year) and to write back what I have been up to. When I see them next fall, I can be really specific when I ask them about their summer. How was Florida, did you have lots of sleepovers, etc. I just love the sweet drawing my darling Rylan did for me... now I better get off this computer so I can write her back!!
