Rating:  - A Must for First Year Teachers
This is a hilarious book and a must read for any first year teacher. A beautifully illustrated reminder that in teaching (no matter how long you have been doing it) things do not always turn out as expected. It is a wonderful book to read on a day when nothing has gone well. My students also loved this book and it was a great introduction to letter writing. A great companion book is "First Day Jitters" by the same author and illustrator.

There's the disastrous field trip, the unexpected visits from the firefighter, the observations by the principal, and the problems with snacks ... Read More
Rating: - Another great book for teachers.
FIRST YEAR LETTERS is a great sequel to Julie Danneberg's best selling FIRST DAY JITTERS. Filled with humor, charm and wonderful illustrations this is a must for teachers, especially those who wonder if they'll ever survive that first year of teaching! I had the opportunity to hear Ms. Danneberg read FIRST YEAR LETTERS to teachers at an International Reading Association conference and they LOVED it. The line to get copies autographed went on and on....
