first day

Hi!
You have allready received some great ideas. Here are a few I use routinely. As an introduction to the important areas at school, ie. cafeteria, office, bathroom, clinic, Specials, playground, etc. I have a letter
that the children and I discover (by surprise)! It has clues as to where our mystery guest has gone. Usually it starts something like this...Dear Children, Mrs. Kimbell said that today is your first day of school. I am so excited to meet all of you. I came into the classroom and nobody was here! I went to look for you. I heard that you have a great principal who helps you when
you have a problem. Maybe he will know where you are. Signed, __________ The children know where to look and SURPRISE! there it is when we take the attendance to the office! I continue throughout the day and week with more letters like the first one with new destinations and clues.

I would be happy to share more. You can contact me through my e-mail address. Best of luck.
