First Parent Teacher Night

Thursday night was my first every Parent Teacher Night. I must say I love all my classroom parents and was a little excited to see them all. I was also, of course, nervous as this was my first time to ever do a Parent Night! But it went well! There was a great turn out with ever student represented by at least one parent! But goodness - what a lot of prep work! On top of assembling information folders I also wanted to make our room a little more like a classroom. Here are some pictures:

The Paper People were made by my students as self portraits. I love them! During the classroom switch the parents who came to help me move thought that the "Cleaver's Cafe" sign hung up by the church was made by me. It turns out the parents really liked it! I guess I did too good of a job incorporating it into my room...hehe...but one of my mom's wanted to make me my own Cafe sign! So of course I said yes! I hung up her sign in the reading corner before parent night. 

We started science on Thursday! The students were so excited. We learned the parts of a plant and the students drew their own diagrams.

In our reading story this week we read about two friends who tied their wishes to a kite to let them fly away so they would come true. So, we made our own Third Grade Wish kites! Their wishes were really cute and it was a fun quick/easy to do activity. Plus, it provided something really interesting for the parents to look at in their visit!

Welcome Parents!
