Here is a cute set of 16 editable monthly newsletters for you to open in PowerPoint, click and type your heart out. These are saved as Power Point files so you have the choice of your own fonts to use. I have drawn in the text boxes so they should be ready to go. Note i saved this as both a pptx and ppt file, but I don't have any way to test it for the older version of ppt file, so you might need to adjust the text boxes if they move around a little. These are licensed for one single classroom.

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

I tried to provide a variety of rewards that cater to different motivators. Some focus on giving students more of things they love (an item, activity, attention), and some take away less favorable things (homework, an activity or item, and for some, attention).

I recommend keeping a log (you can use what I provided at the end) to make sure each student gets at least one reward weekly. Some rewards benefit the whole class, but with choice or focus for the one rewarded, so hopefully it motivates the whole class, even when they don't all win something one day. I also recommend a token system (if a student gets say 3 tokens, then they "win" or earn one of these rewards).

Print, cut, and laminate for longer use.

Use discretion for things that give students access to items or activities they don't normally have access to, and choose which you use. Some students may hate reading, so don't give them the ones that involve sharing books aloud, as an example. You know your students.

These back to school or first day of school welcome letters to students and parents are perfect for any elementary teacher who wants to start the year on a positive note! These welcome back to school letters come in printable and digital forms for whatever you prefer.

Please note: You MUST USE ADOBE READER to edit the editable fields in this file (the greeting and closing fields).

You will also find a GOOGLE Slides option to send paperless letters (via email or through Google). Look at the final six pages of the FILE for instructions on digitally sending these back-to-school letters to students and parents!

PLEASE NOTE: THE BODY OF THESE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE. THERE ARE EDITABLE FIELDS IN THE GREETING AND SIGNATURE ONLY! If you are looking for a letter with an editable body, this is NOT the product for you!!

This welcome back to school product includes a letter that teachers can send home to parents and a letter that teachers can send home with students. Each letter comes in a variety of border choices and black-and-white versions.

• The letter to parents comes with a neutral gender, a boy, or a girl version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter). This letter has three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds in black and white.

• The letter to students comes with three color background options and the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Note: This letter does not require a neutral/boy/girl option since the teacher uses the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.

• The new letters that have been added for 2020 can be found at the BEGINNING of the product file. You will find them on the first eight pages following the instructions for editing the text boxes in the greeting and signature fields.

All versions of each letter have editable text boxes in the Greeting Field and the Signature Field. You can edit these two places on each letter if you choose.

If you'd like to print the letters as is, you may write in the student's name and your own signature. Just for reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein and the size is 14. THE BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE.

BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I have NOT copied a letter that I found online and retyped it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.

If you have any questions about this product, please ask before purchasing. If you aren't sure how to edit text boxes, I've included a page of instructions at the beginning of the product for your convenience.

Did I mention that the BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE? :-)
