As summer comes to a close, I find myself preparing for the upcoming school year. Just yesterday, I sat down to finalize the letters for my new kindergarten students. I personalized each one with their names, believing that a handwritten note adds a touch of warmth and connection. While I was lost in thoughts about the year ahead, my mind turned to those children who should be stepping into kindergarten this year.
I envisioned the families waiting for letters from their new teachers, only to face the disappointment of a milestone that won’t be reached. For this reason, I have decided to open my classroom to you. I will be your teacher, and here’s my welcome letter.
Dear ____________,
Welcome to Kindergarten! I am Mrs. Thompson, and I can’t wait to be your teacher this year. Even though you won’t be physically with us, your spirit will fill our classroom every single day.
Kindergarten is such an exciting adventure, and I truly wish you could join me! I’m eager to teach you about letters, their sounds, and how they come together to form words. I can already picture you sitting beside me as we explore numbers, plants, and animals. I’ll keep you in my thoughts when we learn about life cycles and witness our classroom caterpillars transform into stunning butterflies. There will be so much joy in discovering the works of renowned artists and diving into scientific explorations together.
I know how much your family wishes you could be here to share in the magic of kindergarten. They long to walk you to your new classroom, help you hang up your backpack, and hear all about your day. Please remember, no matter how many students are in the classroom, you will always be dearly missed.
So, on your first day, don’t forget to send a little extra love to those who are waiting for you. They will be sending love your way too. I feel honored to have you as part of my class and to create space for you during what should be your remarkable kindergarten year.
Warmly,
Mrs. Thompson
