Before Summer begins or at least early in summer, I always plan for the first few weeks of school. I get my center folders ready (see upcoming Busy Bee post) and prepare 2 weeks of Beginning of the Year activities. I also get my book bags ready for the next school year (upcoming post)
During this time I also plan the following:
1. A Parent Welcome letter telling about myself and how excited I am to be their child's teacher
2. A Welcome Kit- the letter I send that shows what to include is on my page on Teacherspayteachers and is available for free
Teachers Pay Teachers
3. A Business Card with my name, email, conference time, and phone number that I put a magnet on so parents can have that information on their refrigerator
4. An info card that tells my parents names and phone numbers, emaiil addresses, siblings, transportation to and from school, allergies, concerns (Parents fill these out at Open House or Meet the Teacher Night and I hole punch and hang them all on a ring next to my phone)
5. At Meet the Teacher Night I also send home the Parent Questionaire so that I can get to know my students a little better. This is also available on my Teacherspayteachers website.
