What fun and interesting information about yourself do you put on your welcome letter to families? I don't think parents really care about my favorite color or candy haha, so I'm looking for some new ideas other than the basic info about my education and such.

At back to school night (not in writing) I would tell them I'm a learner as well as a teacher and mention a class or something that I was taking and how it reminded me of the work it takes to be a student. A favorite mention was kickboxing, which I was studying, because it reminded me of how it feels to be the one who just doesn't get it and has to work harder and ask dumb questions. I explained how this influenced my teaching, because I figured that's why they might care.

For the kids, I showed them a picture of my dog. That's all the personal info they needed.

All of this is past tense because I just retired, so won't have to do it this year.

Great idea about the dog photo! I love that!

We wrote a team letter. I taught Literature and in 6th grade and work with four other teachers. We listed supplies, suggestions about sleep needed, breakfast, homework club we had and a simply philosophy of what we believe about education. Parents really don’t care where you went to school, your favorite color, or any personal stuff like that. They want to know why you teach, your discipline style, and major goals you plan on helping their child succeed. The don’t want to read about “fluff” stuff.

Tell me about the puppets🙂

You can share some weekend hobbies that you do. You can share your enthusiasm for yet another wonderful school year!

That is a great idea!
