Yes, I am aware that my open house was four whole weeks ago.
This whole back-to-school thing has been completely out of control. I CANNOT catch up, and I come home every day aching and exhausted. I would totally be asleep right now, but it’s storming, and I don’t do well with storms.
SO, what a perfect time to (finally) share my open house night!
[ If you missed my classroom reveal, you can see it here. ]
First I whipped up these ridiculously cute station signs.
Then, due to some demanding Instagram followers – love y’all – I turned them into a TPT product. Grab 10 blank and editable station cards HERE.
UPDATE: I have created a few different versions of the signs, including polka dots & pirates!
Before chaos ensued, my front table looked like this:
Station 3 instructed parents and students to grab a blue checklist. The checklist included sorting supplies, finding things in the classroom, picking out a book for Monday morning, etc.
My table and countertops looked like this:
I posted my wish list stickies and volunteer forms on the whiteboard. Most of the post-its were gone by the end of the night. Yippee!
The desktops were arranged so that as soon as parents walked into the classroom, they thought, “This teacher is OCD, overzealous, and probably out of her mind.”
The manilla folder contained back-to-school forms to be taken home and returned later.
The editable flipbook is from Miss Johnston.
The red folder is the FISH folder.
I gave each student a composition book since I got a class set at a workshop. The labels are for the kids to stick to their folders, notebooks, etc.
The glow stick tag is free from Teach With Laughter.
This was next to my door on the way out:
How cute is that?
Then I sent a quick Snapchat selfie (LOL) and the three hours of chaos began!
Whew. Reliving that was exhausting.
