Welcome Back Night

August 30, 2013

Wow this week flew by! I was so busy getting everything ready in my room for back to school night on Wednesday I didn’t have anytime to post this week. 

We had the best turnout this year! 17/19 of my students show up. Such an awesome group of kiddos, I can tell its going to be a great year, I still can’t believe I’m really only teaching until Thanksgiving…. So many great questions from parents and excitement for the start of the year. Here are some pictures from our welcome back night.

 It was about in the 90’s and humid all week with heat advisories, so me HAD to have some refreshments!

 A place for students to put their supplies.

 Our iPads charging for the first day of school 🙂

Here is the welcome packet and treat students picked up when they came in to visit.

 Sign in sheets outside of our classroom door.

And last but not least….The door we’ve been waiting for them to finish ALL summer. (did I mention they finished it that morning? Nothing like waiting til the last minute) Luckily I had enough time to get the rest of our classroom banners put up, our CAFE(reading) and VOICES (writing) boards up and very soon I will have a math menu up on the doors called “COUNT” that’s my goal for today.  So I will hopefully post about that tomorrow 🙂

I’m really excited about the fact that I can have all of my students personalized goals posted on one wall that just happens to be behind my small group table.  It will be soooo helpful when conferring with students and definitely this OCD girl happy!

If you like the banners you can get them here:

There are 8 different banners (84 pages) that match my Freebie Welcome Banner. 
And the VOICES board, my current best seller 🙂 is posted here:

How did your welcome back night go? Are you excited or terrified for the start of the year?

  • Sending these cuties off to the ❄️Daddy Daughter Winter Ball ❄️
  • So I’m totally the mom that gets super excited to send something adorable and festive for school parties🙋🏼‍♀️ #sorrynotsorry 
But my daughter’s school only allows store bought prepackaged treats😩 (i totally get it with food allergies and things it’s so much easier to manage!) But that meant I had to get creative.

I signed up to send in juice boxes and decided to dress them up with a little glue, paper, googly eyes and pipe cleaners.

Check out a step by step tutorial in my stories today☝🏻 I’ll try to post directions on the blog ASAP.

Does your school allow Halloween parties? Would you like to see more easy ways to dress up store bought treats for school parties?
  • Had the best day celebrating our sweet Arabella. Thanks to everyone who came to make it a special day for her 💗 #ourarabellabrooke
  • Just one more week until our sweet girl is one. My cousin took the cutest cake 🎂 smash pics today and I cannot wait to see the rest! #ourarabellabrooke 📸: @littlebearphoto45
  • What’s your favorite sensory bin filler? Aubrey LOVES cloud dough so today she had a blast playing in this 🎃 pumpkin themed cloud dough bin.

I love that it’s super simple to make and we usually have everything we need in hand in the pantry🙌🏻. But if I’m being honest I don’t love the mess. I’ve shared this before in my stories but I LOVE these splat mats I found on Amazon. We now own 4 of them😳 I usually use one to cover the table and one (or more) to cover the floor.

They seriously make clean up a breeze and help me let it go ❄️ when I see piles of cloud dough dropping on the floor.
  • Took these cute pumpkins to the pumpkin patch today🎃 It sure was freezing but we did all the fun fall things, and didn’t even have to bribe the kids to leave since they were frozen.🥶🙌🏻
  • Can’t even tell these cuties are freezing their butts off to dance this morning😍 Love them!
  • Arabella’s exploring color mixing today for our #mpkbabybins 💜purple 💜 theme. Our mornings can be a little crazy with all 3 girls, but I try to squeeze in a baby bin activity for Arabella most days between school drop off and nap. So I LOVE  an easy mess free activity like this one.

I first drew some grapes with a sharpie, then squirted some pink and blue paint in a @ziploc bag and she went to town smushing and squishing away. 
Then I just toss the mess and she’s off to nap🙌🏻
