There is no feeling quite like when your child starts school for the first time, or moves to a new class. Teachers arrange their classes in different ways and have different procedures for homework, class management, behaviour etc. There are lots of questions that parents want answering, and Open House is a great time to meet the new teacher and find out a little about what the new school year will bring for their child, They also want to know how they can help their child and how they can help the teacher.

This slideshow contains all the information you need to pass on to your parents, from classroom expectations to grading policies, to what you will be teaching across the year. From field trips to special events. From Daily 5 to Math, Science and Writer's Workshop. From morning arrival to afternoon dismissal.

This slideshow can also be adapted to suit older students.

The slideshow has a cute giraffe theme and can be amended to suit your schedule and activities, and put on a loop at Open House so that parents can get all the information they need at a glance.

24 slides, all with embedded fonts.
