The Lost Tooth Club Take-Home Bag

When a student loses a tooth, he/she gets to take home The Lost Tooth Club Bag.  His/her name goes on The Lost Tooth Club Bar Graph.  I have uploaded The Lost Tooth Club Take-Home Bag Packet to TpT and you can purchase it for only $2 (click {here})!

Here are some books I recommend placing in The Lost Tooth Club Bag.



 

Here is a link for Arden Johnson’s The Lost Tooth Club Fan page.  You can have your students’ enter to win a signed copy of the book by drawing a picture or sending a story of how he/she lost a tooth.  Pretty cool!

 Here is a freebie for you from the packet!  Just click on the picture to download. 
I made this into a poster using Vistaprint!  Click on my link to the left.
Let’s say you have a child who did not lose a tooth in the year they are with you.  You can either let them come back the next year to get a certificate or you can celebrate them with a “You Went a Whole School Year Without Losing a Tooth” sign.  
This is included in the packet.

    Super cute! I have a question- do you have something special that you do with those children who don't loose a tooth during the school year? Do you have any suggestions on how I can keep them from feeling excluded? Have you ever run into this issue before?

    Thanks!

    After looking at the kit again, I see you answered my question! My fault for missing it the first time. Thanks for putting such great things together!

    Kids who just loss their tooth can gain confidence in a club like this. Those colorful bags and books can definitely uplift their spirits and encourage them toward a fast recovery.

📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read- 📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read-alouds!
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.
From Our Class is a Family, All Are Welcome, The Book of Rules, and so many more — these stories never miss.

Which one is a must-read in your classroom? Drop it in the comments and I will send you the links to my follow up activities!

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.

This was my room decor before the pastels.  It worked well to incorporate my old farmhouse items (my decor theme before that) and as a bonus it made my Ukrainian students smile (the sunflower is the national flower of the Ukrainian).

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.
