Welcome Letter / Carta de Bienvenida

I know that everyone is super excited to start school (and I'm not talking about teachers, hahaha), especially the little ones who will start this adventure for the first time. Parents are excited as well, but some of them feel anxious, they don't know how their "babies" will handle this new challenge.

So, the atmosphere you create on "Meet the Teacher Day" is really important to make them feel comfortable. Many of us have done this for quite a while, but still, every group is different, and there is always something new. 

So, for those of you, who like me, need some extra help with preparing for that big day, I created a welcome letter. I give this letter to parents and ask them to read it to their child on the day (or night) before school starts. I tell them to cuddle in bed, read the letter, and then talk a little about the fun things you do at school, like reading, painting, scavenger hunts, singing, dancing, well, you get the idea.

I used the polka dots letter last year, I printed the stars and added them to the letter and to the envelopes, here are some ideas:

 

I used the big stars to decorate the letters, adding some glitter to them!

I also printed my name and my kiddos' names and used them to "sign" the letters and for the envelopes.

If you like this font, it is called pea ambrielle, it is from kevin&amanda, and you can download it for free by clicking on this image

I also used the big stars to decorate pencils, I gave these to my students when they came to school. They were so excited to see their names on the stars.
