TLC for Parents
Put the note below in an envelope with a cotton ball and tea bag and send it home to the
parents the first day of school.

Dear Parents,
Thank you for entrusting your child to me.  I promise to do my best every day to be your
child’s companion in learning.

Sit down, relax, and have a cup of tea.  Hold the cotton ball in your hand to remind
you of the gentle spirit of your child.  I know we will have a wonderful year as we learn
and grow together!
                                               Sincerely, (Teacher’s Name)
