【推荐1】The end of the school year is often when we celebrate student growth. I know how important it is for students to look back at everything they’ve achieved.
Students don’t always remember how far they’ve come over the year. When we praise students for their growth, we help them remember or see it themselves. This can help inspire them to continue learning. That’s why I’ve written this letter to my fifth-grade students.
Dear Students, I can’t believe it, but we’re coming to the end of our school year. Let’s look back at all you’ve done this year. I saw you learn to set goals, focus on learning, and find ways to deal with stress. I saw your confidence soar throughout the year. I saw you explore your interests and you taught me about the problems you care deeply about. I feel good knowing the world is in your hands! As you look back at all of these achievements, here are a few things I hope you remember next school year. • Lifelong learners ask questions. You’ve learned how to ask this year, so keep asking! • Stay curious. You are so much more than what can ever be shown with a test score or a grade. • Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Use mistakes as chances to learn and grow. • Continue to get along well with your friends and teachers. I can tell you how lucky I was to be your teacher. Yours, Lily |
I encourage you to write your own letter to your students. Personalize it for each student by adding a sticky note or a handwritten message to point out specific growth areas.
