Warm-up: Time Capsule Letter Each September, teachers are filled with hopes and goals of what lies ahead. New challenges and opportunities will present themselves throughout the coming months. Write a letter to yourself about your hopes and dreams for the school year. Think about what opportunities and challenges you might face. Describe how you’ll make the most of the opportunities and how you’ll address the challenges. Consider what goals you may have. What do you hope to accomplish this year? This letter is for you only. It will be sealed in an envelope for you to open at the end of the year.
