3rd Grade Test Preparation Google Apps

These encouraging letters are meant to be sent home before and after end-of-year state testing.

Please note: You MUST USE ADOBE READER to edit the editable fields in this file (the greeting and closing fields).

These letters make it VERY CLEAR to students that their worth and value is NOT tied to test scores. Please check the preview to see what the letters contain.

You will also find a GOOGLE Slides option to send paperless letters (via email or through Google). Look at the final six pages of the FILE for instructions on digitally sending these back-to-school letters to students and parents!

PLEASE NOTE: THE BODY OF THESE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE. THERE ARE EDITABLE FIELDS IN THE GREETING, DATE AND SIGNATURE FEILDS ONLY! If you are looking for a letter with an editable body, this is NOT the product for you!!

There are TWO DIFFERENT LETTERS (one for BEFORE testing and one for AFTER testing). Each letter comes in 4 full-color border choices (as well as black-and-white versions).

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 Part of Me by Kimberly Geswein and the size is 17. THE BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE.

BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I did NOT copy a letter that I found online.

If you have any questions about this product, please ask before purchasing. If you aren't sure how to edit text boxes, I've included a page of instructions at the beginning of the product for your convenience.

Did I mention that the BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE? :-)

Do you like to send a letter home to your parents and to your students at the beginning and the end of the year? These heart-felt letters from the teacher will surely convey your genuine passion for teaching!
