Our Open School/House nights can be pretty crazy, with parents and children walking in and around the classroom at all times. I like to get everyone's attention by playing a slideshow with important information and great pictures from our first few days together. During the slideshow I try to present a preview of the information I will share in my talk afterward, including our class wish list. This PowerPoint show can easily be modified to suit the needs of your classroom.

I have been teaching for 17 years at the same school in Mandeville, Louisiana. I taught 1st grade for six years and have taught 2nd grade for eleven years. I was the director of our summer camp for three years and have worked both before and after school programs. I also worked as the web manager and technology point person for our school.
