I place a "meet the teacher" form on each student's desk for Back to School night. This way they can learn a little bit about me before their first day of school!
Hole punch the little circle and insert a blow pop! I leave these on student desks for Back to School night!
I place this letter and a fun eraser on each student's desk to welcome them into the classroom and let them know right away that it is okay to make mistakes!
On the first day of school, I have students complete an "about me" slide. I have different themes so they get to pick one of them to complete.
Students will write me a brief letter and include this form with their letter.
I use this slide so students know what to do when they walk into the classroom. Then I introduce myself, we play a game, and then we go over classroom routines and rules.
