Back To School 2016

It's that time of the year. I have sent each of my students a Back to School postcard and their Kinder Camp flier and class supplies list.

My son is going to be in my class this year so I got to actually got to purchase the supplies on my supply list. I ended up buying a few extra books for the class library. 

Back to School Night

Last Wednesday, I had a back to school meeting for the new Kindergarten parents. I gave each family a folder that had all of our classroom procedures in it. I like to put all of our class information into a folder so that the parents can refer to it if they have any questions.

 I put the cute apples with the poem attached to them on top of the folder. The parents loved the apples!

 I decorated the door with the names of my students and this adorable welcome sign that matches my frog theme.

Back To School: Time to set up my classroom!

Last Wednesday I went to my school to set up my classroom. Here is what it looked like when I got there.

I left the classroom semi-set up at the end of June. So I did not have too much work to do. It took me one full day to finish setting up my room. Here is what it looked like when I was done:

 I spent one day setting up the room and now I am ready to start a new school year!

Back to School Apples

I found this cute poem online last year and I used it to make tags to attach to apples. I put the apples and my class handbook on each student's desk at back to school night.  Last year I used real apples, but this year I used mini decorative apples from Michaels.

 

                 The poem says: An apple for the teacher... 

it's really nothing new. 

Unless you remember, 

parents are teachers too!

The apples help remind parents that we are working together to help their child succeed in school.
