Meet the Teacher Night

Tonight we had our Meet the Teacher Night! It was sooooooo fun to meet all my new students! I was so nervous right before everyone came (yes teachers get nervous too). Every year my stomach gets tangled up in knots at the anticipation of meeting my new students. But once my first family walked through the door all was well and my excited side kicked in as we showcased our room and hopefully made everyone feel invited and welcomed!

They had a great time! Some of my new babies didn't even want to leave my classroom! Parents were excited and eager to find out more information about the school year which was great! I love parents who want to know more and are eager to be involved! I loved watching all my new students explore their new classroom. Some were eager to look around, some were shy, and some were excited to tell me about everything from the stars to the moon. One little girl even had her tablet and wanted to take a selfie with me. My kids were absolutely adorable!

Having a successful Meet the Teacher Night can be stressful. Last year (thanks to Pinterest) I found a lot of Meet the Teacher Night stations online which gave me inspiration to create my own Meet the Teacher Stations (teachers you can find them here). It makes the night go so much more smoothly. I can create them at the door and have them go around the room to all the different stations while I am meeting my new students and answering all their questions. I swear my night goes so much more smoothly with the stations and I feel better knowing I got the information I need to get everyone home safely and important contact information. And plus the kids love searching for the treasure and exploring the room!

It was a GREAT night! We looped Meet the Teacher and Open House all in one so the parents got to stay and hear a little bit about how our school/classroom works. I LOVED meeting all my new families! It's GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!! I love all these sweet children already!
