A cover and 5 pages, one letter per helper: nurse, firefighter, police officer, teacher and mail carrier. Each page has a Dear line, writing lines, a From line and a picture strip to color. The nurse page reads: Write a letter to thank a nurse. Then color the picture strip.
Can I use the Community Helpers Thank-You Letter Template at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 1st Grade to 2nd Grade community helpers, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How does reader's theater work?

Each script has parts for several readers. Children practice their lines, then read the script aloud together, which builds fluency and expression.
