Review
On the surface this is a thank you, a love letter from a now grown student to her second grade teacher, a favorite teacher, a teacher who made a difference.But this is more than just a thank you, it defines a good teacher. This simple picture book explains the role of a teacher: one who welcomes, understands, encourages, disciplines, has patience, acknowledges, introduces new subjects - math, writing, reading science, with enthusiasm and fun. A teacher is one that prepares a student to go forward and hopefully changes each student as a person. This could be used in a STEAM unit for how this teacher integrates the subjects into her curriculum. Ms Hopkinson defines what an honorable profession teaching is and how a teacher can leave a lasting effect on a student.
Overall Book Score: excellent
