First day and Before

I may be getting ahead of myself, but as I am planning, ideas come to the forefront and I have to write them down or lose them forever!  One idea I am going to try this year (STOLEN IDEA FROM MIDDLEWEB) is a homework assignment for parents. It will be a piece of paper with one sentence at the top: In a million words or less, tell me about your child.  I will not grade them, only read them, to get to know my kids better.

So far on day one:
1. Million words or less parent homework
2. Student survey (Adapted from http://firstday.wikispaces.com/General)

Feel free to snag, if you like. The original was free, so this one is too. :)

I am working on my own binders for classroom information.  I will upload items as I finish them.

Smiles,
Trish
