Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Swap the sample grade levels and sign-off for your own before exporting — every text element is editable in Google Slides or PowerPoint

  • Record the audio version: the included vocaroo.com walkthrough takes minutes, and the QR code lets non-readers hear the letter in your voice

  • Download the finished letter as a PDF to email home, or print it for a physical keepsake, as the instructions suggest

  • Use the Spanish version for Spanish-speaking families — both the letter and the how-to instructions are provided in Spanish

Skills covered

  • Teacher communication — a ready-drafted, customizable year-end letter tells each student they were seen, valued, and will be missed.

  • Audio accessibility — the QR-code voice recording option makes the letter accessible to non-readers and adds a personal touch.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How does the voice-recording option work?

You record yourself reading the letter at vocaroo.com, save the recording as a QR code, and drag the code onto the letter where the placeholder sits. Students or parents scan it to hear you read the letter aloud — the instructions call it especially nice for non-readers.

Is the Spanish version a full translation or just the letter?

Both the farewell letter and the customization/QR instructions are provided in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking families receive the complete experience — letter, scan prompt, and all.

Do I have to keep the sample wording?

The sample letter — written from a 2nd-grade teacher to rising 3rd graders — is only a starting point. The deck opens in Google Slides or PowerPoint, where every text element, the memories, and the signature can be rewritten to match your own classroom before you export the PDF.
