Find a Friend

Who has a...?
Hello bloggers, I just created a cute twist to scavenger hunts, but with friends!!! I thought it would be a great way to begin talking before my students sit with a partner and interview each other! (I posted my interview in back to school). I hope someone can use it :)

Welcome Letter

Welcome Students!


In the beginning of August, my school sends each family their classroom teacher assignments for the fall. The packet includes a supply list and a welcome letter from the teacher. I wanted to share mine with you! I print it on cute decorated paper from the dollar tree! It always helps with a good first impression :)


On the first day of school, I send home a newsletter filled with another welcome letter, parent & student handbook, parent contact, parent survey, and permission slip to be on my classroom website. I am still working on putting it all together but check back soon!!!
Welcome Students

Here is my classroom supply list!

Interview a Partner!


And you are...?

I am still searching for great activities to start the school year off with a BANG! My goal, more than ever, is to get my students feeling comfortable, safe, and loved in their new third grade classroom. I am using this interview to help!

My students sit with a partner. They use that partner for many things throughout the day like math workshop, writing peer conference in writer's workshop, and much more! In order to help them get to know each other, I created an interview to help!!

Check it out!

What are you doing on the first day of school??

I am looking for some memorable and hands-on activities to try on the first day of school! Like all teachers, my dream is to have the students get off the bus screaming about what fun they had on the first day with their classmates!


What activities are you doing the first days of school!?


I have made 2 scavenger hunts around the classroom. The first is a bit easier, more obvious items to find in the classroom. They will complete this on their own.


Then, they will try the more detailed version with their partner!


Enjoy!
