End of the Year Thank You Card

I just uploaded my FREE End of the Year Thank You Card to TpT.  Download it by clicking {here}!
My end of the year is not until June 24th, but I am noticing a lot of my blogger buddies are almost done with school.  When do you start?  We don’t start again until after Labor Day.  It has been so cool here on Long Island (NY), that I am glad we don’t have off yet.  I want to soak up as much sun as possible during the summer!

    Here in southern Utah we get out in… wait for it… three days! That's May 25th (which is actually a half-day). Of course, we started on August 11th, so…. let's just say it's been a great year and I love my little friends, but we're ALL ready for a break! 🙂

    When I was in California we started right after Labor Day and got out mid-June.

    Very cute end of year cards! I think it means a lot to a student to know we cared about them. I am going to try and plan ahead to get these done before the mad dash in the last few days. 14 days left here inh upstate NY…..

These are my absolute favorite first-week books for building classroom community, easing those first-day jitters, and setting a positive tone from day one.

How do you handle this situation? Do you put the How do you handle this situation?  Do you put the new student at the end of the alphabetical list or do you start over with a new one?
I know I am next for a new student (I have 24 kids and everyone else has 25), so I am holding off until the night before the first day.  I wish I could just wait but I like modeling where their bags and mail goes, both of which are set up using numbers.

True story: One year on the first day, I had a no show.  Then I was assigned a new student.  That student fit perfectly in the alphabetical order spot that was left.  I should have played the lottery or something.  What were the odds of that?!

5 things that are worth the money for your classro 5 things that are worth the money for your classroom!

1. A color printer.  We don’t have color printers at school and this has saved me from having to remember to print something at home. I brought in mine from home and then bought a new one for home. 
2. MacBookAir - This is my personal laptop.  I bring it home on weekends and holidays but for the most part I keep it at school.  I did need approval to get it on our district WiFi, which meant my phone could not also be on the WiFi.  There is a one device per teacher rule.
3. A lay-flat binder for my plan book, dismissal binder, and sub binder.  These save so much space and they are flexible. 
4. A laminator at school and a laminator at home.  It took me many years before I caved and bought another one but again, it saves me from remembering to laminate at home and I can also laminate during snack time and preps. Matte laminating is also worth the splurge.
5. My teacher toolbox! This toolbox has been with me for over 10 years, I just change out the labels to go with my decor theme.  Everything has a place and it keeps my desk organized.

Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for th Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for the upcoming weeks in a file tray above drawers for the days of the week.  This helps to keep you organized for the weeks ahead.
Save and use leftover colored copies as dividers. This makes them less bulky, than if you had used binder clips.
When you near the end of the week, pull the papers from the tray and sort into the weekday drawers and centers.
