I am a little delayed in my post but Open House was a success! The work week leading up to Open House is always packed full of meetings, setting up the classroom, and planning for the upcoming weeks. With the help of some colleagues and the energy from my red bull I was ready for the night. I had all but two families show up and the entire night went so smoothly :) I found some open house signs on
teacherspayteachers.com (from
Reagan Tunstall) and edited them to suit my set up for the night. For Open House, it usually seems like all the families come all at once and want to tell you everything about their child. However, these signs made all the difference in the world! Everyone got all their necessary papers, looked around the classroom, and took a moment to meet me. I will definitely use signs like these in the years to come!
