Open House was a success! I had my parents come right in and sign in.

 

Of course, I wanted to offer parents a gift first. As they signed in they were offered a mint.

 

 

  Then what every parent loves....open house paperwork. Parents were directed to find their child's name on the purple folder. Once they completed paperwork they were to place it in the teal bucket and find their child's desk for a treat.  

 
I had to add several stickers to cover up my students name. On the desk students found their D.O.T. book, Open House foldable, Open House paperwork to fill out at home folder, Magic Confetti, and a beach ball for their present.  

  Before parents left they got to grab an apple from the giving tree!     I love Open House! I got to see many of my former students and ALL of my new students! I can't wait to see what this year brings!!  

Specials Rotation Clips

    I saw this on pinterest and wanted to make my own for the classroom. We are having a 8 day rotation schedule this year. I wanted to make sure I could keep up with it....so I made my own and downloaded a TPT powerpoint of the specials.

 

Here are the labels in my classroom. The extras I just hung backwards so they would blend in with the board.

Hard Worker Caddy

 

 

I got this from my firstie team member The Elementary Darling and couldn't help but not to copy the idea! Each day a new student will get the caddie that worked hard the previous day. It holds scissors, glitter glue, markers, twistable crayons, and an assortment of pencils.

     

D.O.T. book (Daily Organizational Tool) Binder

  I have always used a communication folder for my room. Last year I used the D.O.T book to communicate with my parents. I absolutely love it ! The front is super cute!

    Once parents open it they will find the rules for the D.O.T. book and the label "Return to School"

 

 

Next parents will find the homework folder. I have a cute label picked out but I don't have my students names yet... Inside the homework folder they will find their reading log and spelling tic tac toe. I found these at Target for 50 cents!

 

 

 

Students will also have a behavior calendar in the back. Students will color in their circle on what color their clip landed on for the day. Parents will sign this daily.

 

Lastly, "Work to keep at home" label. I check the D.O.T book every morning during morning work.
