Her life is about to change in so many ways....
Sometimes it's nice to see how far we've come.
We received a very special memento from our daughter's third grade teacher recently. It was something we had completely forgotten about until our former neighbor asked me if we'd gotten "the letter".
(We had moved so it initially went to our old house, luckily the new owners held onto it for us!)
On the first day of third grade her teacher told his students that he'd be giving them a special graduation gift and it was this letter about their third grade selves.
Isn't this a wonderful idea?
It was fun to read her answers and see what has changed and what has stayed the same over the years.

This is so sweet and such a special letter for your daughter to receive. What an awesome teacher to do this, and keep it going a decade later!
Now THAT is a good teacher.

What a great gift....and a wonderful idea! I will have to share this with my teacher friends.
So sweet! I did that as a freshmen and then mailed it senior year
How touching and beauiful. Such a thoughtful gift. It never ceases to amaze me, how many angels are out there among us. :)

What a wonderful idea and what a wonderful teacher to do this. Getting that letter must have brought back so many memories to make all of you smile.
absolutely darling -- bless the teacher for holding on to these precious time capsules.
What an awesome gift! So cool!
i'm in my fifties and still have never forgiven my parents for not having a pet while growing up. an animal person is an animal person and not letting us have an animal is up there on the list of some of the worse things that can be done to us.

How cool is that?! There are teachers who are definitely unsung heroes!! I love that!
As a retired head teacher I'm pleased to see this wonderful post. Teachers do care - a lot!
What a nifty idea!
How fun for all of you to have this to look at and have a laugh over!
They certainly grow up way too fast, don't they?
Thank you for sharing your lovely daughter with us.
