Free First Day Note!
One of the most important things I have learned as a teacher is how valuable positive notes home are. As a mother myself, I appreciate all the communication from teachers, but I LOVE hearing how great my kid is doing in school.
As a teacher, we always remember to send home the notes about problems at school, but often we overlook the good days. So, remember to send home those positive notes too! I keep a sheet taped to my desk with each student’s name on it, and I send home a few positive notes each week. Once a student gets a note, I mark their name off the list. When my list is finished, I take it off my desk and tape a new one down and start all over!
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to get these notes out, they can be something super simple, like this one here, or you can even purchase rewards at the teacher store. Just make sure every once in a while you send out something to make the parents smile!
I hope you enjoy your free first day home note!
