Dear Division 15,
I am so excited that you are all in my class this year. Thank you for being my students.
We finished reading a very special book called, “Thank you, Mr. Falker,” written and illustrated by Patricia Polacco. Trish is a very talented art student, but found reading and math difficult. She also went through a hard time with students who were unkind to her. I loved how this story was actually based on a true story of the author, Patricia Polacco.
Trish had very special people in her life, such as her grandmother, grandfather and of course, Mr. Falker, who helped her go through the difficult times through encouragement and learning.
What did you find special about this book? What is something that comes easily for you at school? What is something that is more difficult for you that we can help you with this year? What can you do if you are going through a hard time?Please share on our class blog.
Sincerely, Ms. Sim
