Students learn about collaborative learning as partners, in small groups, and as one big class family.

"Family can extend beyond one household, one classroom"--Provided by publisher.

Through a letter written from the teacher's point of view, the class reflects on the memories made and shows how proud the teacher is.

"Through a letter written from the teacher's point of view, students are given the message that their new teacher is someone they will get to form a special bond with. Their teacher is not only there to help them academically, but also to cheer them on, and to provide a caring, safe environment for them to learn and grow"--Amazon.
