Lesson Introduction: Writing to Your New Teacher

Objective

Today, we are going to explore the exciting world of letter writing! You will learn how to introduce yourself to your new teacher by writing a friendly letter that shares important information about you.

Creative Hook: "The Time Capsule Letter"

Imagine you are an astronaut preparing for a long journey in space, and you want to send a message back to Earth. This message is not just for anyone; it's for your new teacher, who represents a fresh start in your school year! You want them to know who you are, what you love, and what you're hoping for this year.

Activity: Your Mission

1. Think About Your Journey: Close your eyes and picture your classroom as a spaceship. You are about to blast off on a new adventure with your new teacher. What would you want them to know about you before embarking on this academic journey together?

2. Brainstorm: Grab a piece of paper and jot down your thoughts. Consider the following questions:

   • What are three things you enjoy doing?
   • What is your favorite subject and why?
   • What are you looking forward to learning this year?
   • Do you have any fun facts about yourself that might surprise your teacher?

3. Share a Sneak Peek: After you’ve written down your ideas, turn to a partner and share a few of your thoughts about what you want to include in your letter. Listen carefully and see if they have any ideas to help you enhance your message.

4. Get Ready to Write: Now that you have your ideas, it’s time to start crafting your letter! Remember to include a friendly greeting, an introduction about yourself, what you hope to achieve this year, and a warm closing.

Conclusion

By the end of today’s lesson, you will have a thoughtful letter ready to share with your new teacher—a small yet impactful way to kick off a fantastic year ahead!
