Meet the Teacher should be an exciting time for you to meet your new students and their parents. Don't stress about which forms you need, sign-in sheets, or having something special to share with your students. I've got you covered! ā¤ļø

What is included?
The following forms are included ā€“ all in an editable format for you to make any changes as needed.

Binder Divider/Cover:Ā I like to keep all of my Back to School Items in one place (a binder). You can use this to divide between all of the BTS events so your materials are all organized and ready to go.

Special treat label:Ā This is universal so that you can use it with any candy, healthy snack, or small gift for your new students.Ā (Need Ideas?:Ā Starburst, new pencils, cute erasers, something cute you find at the Target Dollar Spot, Goldfish crackers small snack bags)

Signs for Parents:Ā I suggest printing these on card stock. You can fold them in half to make stands to direct parents where to sign-in, sign-up, volunteer, fill out forms, etc. A blank editable one is available too. (See font list if needed.)

Sign-In Sheet:Ā This is a basic form for parents to sign-in for attendance purposes and to note how their child gets home on the first day of school.

Volunteer Sign Up:Ā We all need a little help! This form will encourage parents to volunteer in the classroom and let you know who is available to volunteer their time.

Volunteer Form:Ā This form lets parents give a little more information about the types of activities they would be interested in.

Classroom Scavenger Hunt:Ā This fun little checklist will provide a nice activity to help your students become acquainted with their new classroom and know where the basics are located.

Student Information:Ā This basic information sheet is very handy for you to have on hand. It gives a snapshot about their health information, family, siblings, interests, and also a spot to note any special holidays they celebrate.

Google FormsĀ 
Google Forms are available in case you want to skip the paperwork

Need a cute and easy way to introduce yourself to your new students and their parents? Looking for the right words to introduce yourself? I've got you covered.

This editable document is an example Meet Your Teacher template that you can type directly into and customize to fit your needs. I have linked to the fonts used inside the document, but you can change to use any fonts that you would like.

This document is a PowerPoint. You will need PowerPoint to edit the file.

About this Resource
This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 1st grade Common Core Standards and meant to be a review. If you teach 2nd grade, this might also work for you depending on your studentsā€™ needs. (We do have a 2nd grade version!)

This set contains 2 weeks of Camping-themed morning work for the month of August. Every other month will have 4-5 weeks of Morning Work. This shortened version is the perfect time for you to try it out! The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged continuously reviewing math skills. Additionally, the daily and weekly updates open doors for conversations to help you and your students get to know one another.Ā 

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in our own classrooms: Place Value, Number Sense, and Fractions. These have worked so well in our classroom that we decided to expand into other grade levels. While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure.

Marvelous Monday-Ā Problems are centered around Kindergarten math review and problems leading up to the understanding of more complex problems, especially Multiplication & Division. In the 3rd-5th Grade morning work, it is called Multiplication Monday.Ā 

Terrific Tuesday-Ā All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.Ā 

Wonderful Wednesday-Ā No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.Ā 

Thoughtful Thursday-Ā Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from Kindergarten or the beginning of the year. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, Geometry, and Number Patterns.

Fun Friday-Ā Nothing says Fun Friday like Math! There is always a need to review. By keeping it short and sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your studentsā€™ confidence with different math skills while also keeping it fresh. The problems may also lead up to the understanding of Fractions in 3rd grade.

I created this resource in my own classroom because I saw a need to continuously review these key areas. By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas. I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:Ā 

*Routine!-Ā My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom.

*Short & Sweet-Ā There are only a few problems so it shouldnā€™t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

*Fewer Copies -Ā Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back)

*A Weekly Grade -Ā My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and ā€œadded on to their thinking,ā€ they will earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.

*Wordless Wednesday-Ā No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.Ā 

*Throwback Thursday-Ā Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from 1st grade or the beginning of the year. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, Geometry, and Number Patterns.

Fun Friday-Ā Nothing says Fun Friday like Math! There is always a need to review. By keeping it short and sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your studentsā€™ confidence with different math skills while also keeping it fresh. The problems may also lead up to the understanding of Fractions in 3rd grade.

I created this resource in my classroom because I saw a need to continuously review these key areas. By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas. I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:Ā 

*Routine!-Ā My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom.

*Short & Sweet-Ā There are only a few problems so it shouldnā€™t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

*Fewer Copies-Ā Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back)

*A Weekly Grade-Ā My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and ā€œadded on to their thinking,ā€ they will earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.

About this Resource
This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 1st grade Common Core Standards and meant to be a review. If you teach 2nd grade, this might also work for you depending on your studentsā€™ needs. (We do have a 2nd grade version!)

This set contains 5 weeks of Fall/Thanksgiving-themed morning work for the month of November. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged continuously reviewing math skills. Additionally, the daily and weekly updates open doors for conversations to help you and your students get to know one another. You can check out the 3rd grade set to get a feel for the upcoming months.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my classroom of 3rd graders: Place Value, Number Sense, and Fractions.Ā 
While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure.
