Yesterday I spontaneously decided to have my intensive readers write a letter to themselves which I will mail to them at the beginning of the next school year. We first brainstormed some things they learned this year that they want to remember for 8th grade. We also listed lessons learned from the book we were reading.
Most of the letters didn’t say much. But three students hit it out of the park. I felt they said some real things that will truly guide them in the future. One was from a girl (the longest one). The other two are from boys who have struggled with behavior —one who just came to our school this quarter because of issues at another school.
