Meet the Teacher Night

Meet the Teacher is one of my favorite activities of the school year. Last year we had to hold it virtually so I am so excited for my first in-person Meet the Teacher Night for Preschool! I create a list of things that I included on this night to help y'all as you prepare for your Meet the Teacher Night:

• Preschool Handbook- Includes information on attendance, transportation, dress code, and parent/teacher communication informatoin

• Snack List- list of classroom snacks for parents to refer to when donating snack to the classroom for snack time

• Snack Calendar (on a Post It)- We have two students a week donate snack, I put down each students week on a post it for parents as a reminder of their week/day to donate snack

• Supplies List- Due to the amount of materials we already have the supplies list only included Clorox wipes, Kleenex, Waterbottle, a Folder, and a Backpack to take back and forth from school

• Meet the Teacher Introduction- I wrote a letter to introduce myself, I included my education and my previous teaching experiences as well as a bit of how the classroom will be structured

• Parent Contact Sheet- Parents fill out their contact information for me to have handy

• Student Interest Form- Parents fill out a form with their child's likes and dislikes and share how their child learns best

• Teacher Contact Cards- I made little cards and laminated them with my email and Google Voice phone number so they can easily call, text or email when needed

I also made sure to touch base on:

• PECs system with our student picture schedules

• Daily Schedule

• Parent/Teacher Communication (we use ClassTag)

• Transportation to and from school

• Areas of the classroom (sensory, library, toy area, kitchen, centers)

• Therapies (Speech, Occupational and Physical- depending on the child's IEP)

• IEP goals and Minutes

These are just some ideas but I hope they help you as you go through your own Meet the Teacher Day or Night!
