It is summer, so memories of summer's past sometimes come to mind. One summer in particular was at the end of, what I think was, my seventh grade year. I had a reading teacher that I loved. She read to us every day and, well, it was reading....so what is not to love? She also had great book recommendations. At the end of the school year, she put her address on the board and told us all that we could write to her.
We wrote back and forth throughout the summer....and possibly even into my eighth grade year. She asked about what I was reading and gave me more recommendations.
Now, I have had a few students that have written to me after receiving a "Thank you" card in the mail, but most send me emails. Are there teachers out there anymore that write back and forth to their students? With all of the warnings that we get that we should not get too close to our students, is letter writing crossing a line?
