This resource provides a unique opportunity to focus on students as distinct and diverse individuals. Instead of asking generic questions about their names and favorite things, it encourages inquiries that facilitate self-recognition of their emotions, needs, and desires.
Teachers consistently prioritize the well-being of their students and the involvement of parents. Therefore, engaging in an “A Letter to My Family” activity is an exceptional way to inform parents about their children’s experiences during the first week of school. Parents value a wide range of information beyond just routines and schedules; they also desire insights into their children’s emotional management and overall well-being.
The first week of school presents a prime opportunity to encourage students to familiarize themselves with their school environment and openly communicate their thoughts, needs, and concerns with teachers, counselors, and other staff members. When students feel a genuine sense of belonging within their school, they are more likely to thrive academically.
These activities promote a feeling of belonging often referred to as school connectedness, wherein connected students believe that their parents, teachers, school staff, and peers genuinely care about their well-being and academic progress.
