First Grade Back to School Bulletin Board & What I Sent Home to Parents!

We are only a couple weeks out from the first day of school! Come along with me to see what I sent home to my new students to get to know me and I hope into the classroom to set up a bulletin board and get some last minute things ready!

I would also like to see what you are doing the first day/week! TY Susan!!

[@iluvfirst]

Your new students are so lucky to have you as their first grade teacher 🍎 And I am very envious of your team partner 😂 Thank you for always sharing and supporting us teachers ❤

[@KatlegoMotsoeneng]

Yes please do

[@rebeccabattaglia4440]

Your room looks so good! I can't wait to see what you are doing the first week of school. I'd love to see your plans. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge.

[@christinetanguay134]

I would love to hear about your first day with the kids. Always looking for new ideas and just love your videos!

[@PamelaPylkas]

yes, share, please,

[@lisahegard2594]

Your room looks great! I’d love to hear your first day ideas!! Have an awesome year!!

[@pamhall3464]

I'd love to have your plans!

[@cookiemonster-ix2zc]

Coffee is key to start your day off the right way. I love your printer. Can I ask where and the name of the printer you use?

[@nicolecocca6977]

I am an substitute teacher in RI so we are close. Would love to hear your first day plans

[@bridgettquinlan3249]

Wow! You have a much later start than here in Memphis, TN. We started Aug. 8 and finish last week of May. When does your school year end? W have a back to school lower elementary theme, which was space. Each welcome back board is a space theme. The hallway has planets, stars, etc hanging down from the ceiling. It is fun and festive! Your class will be so blessed to have you as a teacher. 😊

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

I love the themed idea! So fun! We don’t end school until mid-late June (usually between the 18-24 ish)

[@melaniefudge6204]

I would love to hear about your first day of school activities :) You seem like an amazing and enthusiastic teacher! I am new to grade two this school year! I am listening to all your videos as I feel so overwhelmed! Thank-you so much!

[@savvysue7]

Good luck to you! You will do great 👍

[@debreale5236]

I love the round numbers! Good point about cutting them though. Everything looks great! Have a wonderful year!

[@user-id6wx2kg2d]

You have such great ideas! Can you share your schedule/lesson plan for you first day of school?

[@susanbrody9534]

Yes please for your first day ideas! FYI: You made my transition from upper elementary to first last year possible. You continue to inspire, teach, and motivate me to be the best possible teacher. So...thank you. Have a wonderful year! (Not gonna lie: wondering why you are back to full time teaching vs solely doing your workshops/SJT...but SO glad you will keep adding content!)

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

This is SO kind, thank you Susan!! Hahaha - my husband keeps wondering why I decided to go back to full-time teaching too instead of still doing what I've been doing, but honestly, I just missed the classroom!! It had been too long since I've had my "own" set of students. I absolutely love sharing and working with teachers too though, so we will see what the future holds!

[@funmiafo]

I'm so excited that you're back in the classroom. My school resumes in September (I'm in Nigeria). I can't wait to grab ideas from you😊. Please share your first week's plans and videos with me.

[@teachininthe8086]

I would love to hear about your ideas for the 1st week of school.

[@nicolebuster9772]

Would love to hear your first day ideas! Moving up to first after 16 years in K! Need all the help i can get!

[@cathrinemarymithin6729]

Amazing ma'am, all the best....❤

[@markschmidt8191]

Can you provide a first grade teacher with strategies for classroom management with 41 students currently on my list?

[@amysaville2625]

What state are you in? Isn't that illegal?

[@MelroseG333]

41 students to one teacher!? 😳😳😳😳😳

[@natalieboyer9265]

Hi! I have 33 in my 1st grade class. It is not an ideal number! We started on August 7. I would suggest making sure you practice explicit routines for the first few weeks. We talk about why we are at school in my class and if we can’t get everything done we will have to complete academics during other times such as specials or part of recess. I would also work on trying get them to be independent workers in small groups and have some class token system to support those goals. Good luck and hopefully they give you a Teaching Assistant.

Love your parent letter too! I’ll check out Canva and see what they have. I’ve never used it before. Do you have a link?

[@user-rx9mj4wj1l]

Hi Susan! Everything’s coming together for you so well!! 👍🏼 Could you share your mailbox numbers with me please? Do you have them in rectangles?
