This is my door that I'll keep up all year. I might add some student work to it, but for the most part, this door will remain the same all year.
Look at this awesome monkey a co-worker of mine asked her husband to draw! Isn't it fabulous?!?!?! I'll add the kids' names to the door. This is a door I'll change out, but not a lot. I'm not a good door decorator. You'll find that out as the year goes on.
For the parents that brought their supplies for back to school night, I have them put their shared supplies in the these tubs. Other supplies will go in their pencil boxes and stay in their cubby.
The stack of papers on the left are for my texture alphabet. I ask that all the kiddos take one and bring it back later. I'll hang it up above our curriculum alphabet. The papers on the right are a scavenger hunt for the room, it has different things like finding their cubby and the bathroom.
Because back to school night can be so crazy, I also send the parents home with a packet that covers most of our classroom items, such has dismissal procedures, parent volunteering information, and contact information.
I also send home a classroom schedule.
This is something I'm very excited about this year. This year I'm trying the remind app. I've heard really good things about it. I'm always looking for ways to make communication easier for parents and myself.
I also send home a scholastic book order. I send one home a month with a cover letter stating the due date and ways to pay online. I really like how scholastic has revamped their website. Super fun!
This is a little card that I also give out at back to school night. In my district, each classroom has a direct line. I have the parents take these home and put them on their fridge or another safe place. Again, the more communication, the better.
How was your back to school night?
