• The letter to students comes with three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Including all versions of this letter, there are 6 pages. Note: This letter does not require gender options since the teacher uses the pronouns “you” and “I” throughout the letter.
• THE BODY OF THESE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE!  All versions of each letter have editable text boxes in the Greeting Field and the Signature Field. You can edit these two places on each letter if you choose. If you’d like to print the letters as is, you may write in the student’s name and your own signature. Just for reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein and the size is 14.
• BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL and are perfect for these 3rd-grade activities packet! I have NOT copied a letter that I found online and retyped it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year…. none of your parents will have seen this one (at least in 2016, as it was created in June 2016).
