FREE MISC. LESSON - “Back to School Parent Volunteer Letter”

by Rainbow City Learning
Kindergarten - 6th Grade

One way to create a caring classroom, a place where you and your students will thrive and blossom, is to invite parents in from the beginning. Invite them to be an active part of the special learning community you are creating.
A letter like this one is a great way to get things rolling in a positive direction. Parents and caregivers love to get involved and are usually happy to help in any way they can.
Use this letter as is, or feel free to use it just as inspiration for your own. If you would like a paid custom version, please contact me at retta.london@gmail.com.
Wishing you parents/caregivers who are true partners and on your side as you journey through the school year!

Free Easy Student Product Activity Page for Open House

Looking for some great student products for your Open House display? 

I've got a great math-related activity to share with you! This activity is one that I have used to create a cover page in students’ math notebooks, but it’s such a fun activity that it makes for a great display for Open House or Back to School Night. It’s also a fun way to show students how they can communicate with numbers and an opportunity for students to get creative and show off their individual style.

I give students a guideline for how to format the page and a list of statements to get them started (see below), but the creativity level is left entirely to them. 

As an optional way to present the numbers, you can have students write them in one of the following formats:

* expanded notation- (Example: 10,000 x 1 + 1,000 x 3 + 100 x 5 + 10 x 6 + 1 x 8 days on Earth.)

* expanded form- (Example: I traveled 1000 + 200 + 70 + 8 miles to the beach this summer.)

* mathematical expressions- (Example: My birthday is on the (75 + 30)th day of the year.)

Back to School Ice Breaker

These cute popsicle puzzles can be used in a variety of ways to make learning more exciting. Here are just a few examples. Use you imagination to create what works for you.

Match the number and the number word to figure out what group you are in.
Group from 1-6 by color. 
Group from 1-6 by number.
I have included 6 popsicle puzzles of each color. I have also included the complete popsicle of each color for making headers or group/team cards. There are 7 colors and a black and white set which could be printed on colored card stock.
I would suggest laminating the pieces so that they last longer and they can be used again.
