Open House Night

My school district has a Meet Your Teacher night the week before school starts.  This is just a quick meeting for the students to say hello, meet their teacher and drop off school supplies.  Then later in September we have Open House, which is where we go over everything that happens in Second Grade and what students will be learning.  I love talking with the parents and after they leave I go home thinking about all the things I forgot to tell them!

Here are the items I had on the desks for parents.  An M & M vitamin treat, a sample of student work, a poem written by the students, the yellow slip is a for the parents to leave their child a note.  The green folder is full of all that curriculum information parents need to know, a password sheet for them to access the reading, math, science and social studies text books, and an Imagine It! spelling list of words for the entire year.

Students drew a map of the classroom.  They colored their desk a special color.  I handed these to the parents at the door so they could use the maps to find their child's desk.
