Back to School Night Freebie!

Back to School Night, Meet the Teacher Night, Curriculum Night, Open House ... whatever your school calls it, it's all part of a new beginning, with a new group of families.  Very exciting, but often very stressful, too - for you AND for them!

With so much information to cover in a very short time, anything you can do to communicate more easily with your new families is a GOOD THING. These families are in information overload, and anything in print has a better chance of being retained and used.

This free Back to School Night download for first and second grade will give your students' families ten easy-to-implement ideas for working (and playing!) with their children at home.

Just include this list in your Meet the Teacher Night packet to give your students' families some easy ideas to support their children and in turn support YOU! 

There are two levels included in your download: Level 1 is No Fluff, just the basics, Level 2 has a few more details included as explanation with each suggestion.  

You'll find that this list has other uses throughout the school year:

Keep a stack of these handy for whenever you get that eleventh hour call for work to send home. You know, five minutes before the dismissal bell.  Pop the list right into a folder with whatever else you can grab, and now families have been reminded of lots of learning options. And you've saved yourself the time and aggravation of writing a long note home.

It's also handy to have this list to tuck into the folder of a child heading off for a week's vacation during school time. Let's face it. How much work does your average child return to you after a week in Disneyworld? Teachers' own children being the exception, of course! ;)
