Meet the Teacher/Open House

Even though school is still a few weeks away for me, I thought I would share some ideas I have for my Meet the Teacher night. I am linking up to Meet the Teacher Night Linky Party at I Heart Teaching. 

  1. I create contact magnets for all the families.  These are just like business cards with my name, phone number and ext, email address, and class website.  I also put a magnet (love my roll of magnet tape!!) on the back so families can keep it on hand all school year.

  2. This year I ran across some really cute bookmarks that I might make my own.  They say: "Children are made readers on the laps of their parents." If I don't include these at Open House then I hope to have them for curriculum night.


  3. For Open House, I also like the students to have a chance to explore the class.  This year I might have a scavenger hunt or have some sort of estimate jar contest.  I like the idea of bringing the parents into both activities so they begin the year involved in their child's class.
