Open House

Reading At Home - Tips For Parents This is perfect for sending home with our students at Open house!

I saw a great visual on Pinterest regarding reading for 20 minutes each night. It came from the Perry & Lecompton Unified School District (click HERE to see the original.) I added my own flair to the visual because I plan on adding it to the beginning of the students' planners next year.

EMERGENCY CONTACT... For years I fumbled with folders, papers, files, but nothing has ever been simpler! I absolutely love having my emergency contact cards (double sided) with all the emergency information you need on ONE RING!

On this card (found as a freebie below) you have child's name, birthday, address, numbers, pickup, and contacts all in one spot!

What a busy week! We had Open House this week and it's fun, but exhausting! I want to share some Open House ideas that get my students,...

I shared these last year as a Fan Freebie on my Facebook page, but I went ahead and threw them into my Teachers Pay Teachers store as a freebie. This seems to be an easier way for some people to get the files.

Just click on any of the pictures below to head on over to my Teachers Pay Teachers store. I'd love for you to leave me some feedback in my store…
