2020 has been an incredibly challenging year for everyone, especially for teachers. Many of us still don’t know if we will be back in our classrooms.
It is difficult to plan for the first few weeks of school. Some districts are planning a hybrid model of learning, where students spend some time in the classroom, while also distance learning from home.
If you find yourself at a loss for how to plan an Open House or Meet the Teacher event, hopefully I can help you with some ideas, and a virtual as well as printable resource for Open House.
I wanted to revisit a few quick tips I have for hosting a successful Open House, Meet the Teacher, or Back to School Night:
-Parent Questions at the very end of the presentation
If you are need of some STEM materials for your class or if it’s Back to School time and need new supplies, you can set up a designated donation desk! It may feel odd or uncomfortable asking parents for supplies, but it really shouldn’t! This is a cute way to ask families to help out and for them to feel like a part of the classroom community!
6. Make it memorable.
Try to keep it enthusiastic and positive, especially during this challenging time! This is a great opportunity to get to know your students families and set the tone for a great year to come.
