I know how crazy supply drop off/meet the teacher/open house can be for a teacher. Parents and students are coming and going, they want to talk to you, or they want to know what to do with their stuff, or where to find things. A few years ago I created stations to guide my parents and students around my room to drop off their supplies. I also used this for parents at Open House night to again guide them before my presentation. You can use these posters and labels for multiple purposes. In my preview, I shared my example of how I use them for supply drop off to give you some ideas.

What's included?

• Fully editable text boxes to type what you want on the poster or labels.
• 6 Stations cards
• Premade supply cards for most general supplies
• blank supply cards to customize what you need

If you love the chalkboard theme check out my Number Volume Cards, Birthday Charts, and Whole Brain Teaching posters.

Are you ready to launch a year long At Home Nightly Reading Program to celebrate the joy of reading with your students? This send home incentive package encourages your students to read for a few minutes either on their own or with a parent. An additional Irregular Heart Word Challenge is designed to foster a love for reading and encourage daily reading habits. Grab this and prepare it so you are ready to build the home school connection when Back to School begins!

Each night your students engage in reading at home, they are to color ONE of the images on the provided sheet. Once all the images for the month are colored, they can cut along the dotted line and bring in that page to school. As a reward for their participation, each student will receive a small surprise (This might be a bookmark, a pencil and eraser from the dollar store, or a certificate). I also like to keep a chart on the wall and add a sticker for visual tracking.

You can choose the pages you need whether your school has an August or September Start, or even if it is a year long school.

Check out the PREVIEW for a more detailed idea of what is included.

An additional challenge encourages children to focus on three sight words a month. Parents are encouraged to provide an old newspaper or magazine, or some flyers from the mail for their child to search for these heart words and hightlight or circle them. Once this challenge is complete, students can cut out the paper badge and glue it to their certificate. The certificate tracks the entire year.

An instruction email to parents is included.

There are 12 months of challenges provided, and 4 different certificate options for the Irregular (Heart) Words Challenges to best suit your needs.

This is a terrific way of recognizing and celebrating your students' commitment to reading. Provide an easy way for parents to help instil a love for reading at a young age. In term, we are helping our students build essential skills for academic success.

Copying for more than one teacher, classroom, department, school, or school system is prohibited. This product may not be distributed or displayed digitally for public view. Failure to comply is a copyright infringement and a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Clipart and elements found in this PDF are copyrighted and cannot be extracted and used outside of this file without permission or license. Intended for classroom and personal use ONLY.

Who is this for? Need help writing professional, kind emails when something stressful, annoying, or difficult to explain has happened?

Consider this your foundation. None of these templates are 100% ready to copy/paste/send to a parent, so read each one completely before editing and sending.

I recommend keeping your original purchased download as a reference, but make copies to edit from if need be (the Canva version anyway).

Instructions:

For PDF: You’ll have to copy and paste the text into your email draft and edit from there anything you need to change.

For Canva: here you can edit your own version(s) from Canva, then copy the text into email once finished. Since this is basically a text-only template, there isn’t much you’d necessarily add to these or change, except names, specific details, and your contact info.

If there’s a line or a bolded word, assume you’ll have to edit it/add a detail of your own. Also, you might change “we” to “I” or vice versa- whichever makes more sense. There might be other words that need rewording that aren’t bolded!

Pro tip: don’t enter email address(es) to send to until you’ve completely edited and proofread your draft.

I’ve included suggested subject lines also.

INCLUDED SUBJECTS (SEE PREVIEW):

• child injured (theirs)
• child injured (other)
• parent overstepping in volunteering
• upcoming field trip
• recent school shooting
• recent special needs diagnosis
• noticing malnutrition, fatigue, etc.
