I have had such a busy few weeks! Teachers went back to school on August 14th, and since then I have been frantically trying to be ready for the school year. Ha! "Ready".... who ever feels ready?
Last Thursday was our school's Open House. It was so fun to meet a few of my students! Here is how I set up my room for the event.
On the front white board, I created a "Wish Tree". Things like disinfecting wipes, kleenex, pencils, hand sanitizer, and white board markers are like gold in any classroom. On the post-it notes, I wrote an item, and if parents were interested in donating, they could take the post-it with them as a reminder.
I used these magnetic pockets from Lakeshore Learning to hold my important forms. I had a letter from me (also translated into Hmong), and some school paperwork.
In front of the white board, I placed two student desks. I had some Jolly Ranchers and stickers out (yep... win them over with candy first), a sign-in sheet, and a 3rd Grade Welcome Packet.
I also had a Student Information Sheet (very similar to the school's, but for my personal records), and a classroom Scavenger Hunt to get the students comfortable looking around the classroom.
It was quite a long day, but it got me really excited for school to start!
Until next time,
-Miss Woodward
