Here’s a peek at some of our Back to School Activities!
We started the day with a little Play-Doh Play. I invited the parents in {first day treat only!} and had this note projected on the Elmo. It was a fabulous, low-key way for the kids to stay busy while I said hello to parents!
Just inside the front door {and right next to the bulletin board} is this outrageously cute piece of art! I used Halle’s adorable poster and framed it in a cheap Ikea frame. It makes me happy to walk by it!
We’ve had many discussions about our classroom rules over the past few days. I have three simple classroom rules:
* Say & Do Kind Things.
* Be a Good Listener.
* Take care of yourself, others, our classroom & our school.
Basically, if a kid is making a “bad choice” it will fall under not following one of those three rules!
Yesterday, we illustrated the rules in a mini-book for the kids to take home and share with their parents.
Last night we had Back to School Night. Kinda brutal on the second day back, but I am glad to get it over with! I made this fun little fill-in for the parents to complete while they waited for my presentation to start. I think this mother nailed the “fast-talking” part!

My class is great! They are sweet, kind, and most importantly, great listeners! I know this will be a fabulous year!
