Parent Handbook

We've been in school for 2 whole weeks! I'm exhausted but loving this group of children:) So this week is our Back to School Night for grades 3-5. I usually do my ABC's of Third Grade but this year I wanted to do something a little different. While on Pinterest browsing I came across this "pin" and thought it would be cute if I made these as well.

Here's the rough draft...

Basically cut and pasted onto blank sheets so I could try

to line everything up right.

 

Welcome information

 

Information on how best to contact me and what

the student binders are used for.

 

Our Daily Schedule

 

Classroom Management Policy

 

General Info: Grade Scale, Homework Policy, Classroom Celebrations

 

I copied them in our school colors, blue and yellow. As you

can see the Communication and Binders tab got cut off.

I'll fix that next year ;)

 

 

What do you do for back to school night?

 

 

Pinterest Inspired: Back to School Treats

Here's another Pinterest Inspired idea... I'm going to give these to my students for our meet and greet in two weeks.

A while back I purchased some 1in by 8in clear cellophane baggies that had adhesive to close them. I filled them with plain M&Ms. I cut a tag using my Circut Expression and Plantain Schoolbook Cart at 2 inches on red cardstock and attached them to the M&M Sticks using some yellow ribbon. I used MyPinkStamper's *I Heart School* from her School Days stamp collection to decorate the tag. Very cute and very cheap!

What do you give your students?

Pinterest Inspired: Currently Me Journal

I’ve seen these types of notes on various blogs where teachers are sharing their “currently” statuses. Someone pinned this idea onto their Writing Ideas board and my creativity kicked in! This would be a wonderful journal for students to keep with their writing ideas all year. Just create a journal for each child and allot time each month to devote to this writing exercise. Students could use this journal to help spark ideas for writing. Do you see yourself using this in your classroom?
