It allows students to give advice to the new students. It sounds like a fun way to begin the year and it will be on my list of to do next year. <br /><br />DouhaDouha Zeidanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442540948269184244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702162997358851975.post-21295051176569498252015-10-11T20:45:47.968+11:002015-10-11T20:45:47.968+11:00Such great tips for transitioning students.

It's such an important part of making sure students feel comfortable and safe while having to mix with a new class and teacher after a whole year working with a different group!

I give each student a letter written by a past student, it is always a great success! I let the kids keep the letter as a special welcome back present.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206853250937171872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702162997358851975.post-25936215090154192652015-10-11T15:32:01.642+11:002015-10-11T15:32:01.642+11:00Great ideas!
