We have ours the day before school starts. The kids come in and bring their stuff, meet the teacher, look around the room, etc. We don't have a formal presentation for the parents. It's just a "Meet and Greet". On the students'
desks I have paper for them to fill out with name, address, email address, bus number of they ride a bus, etc. There is also a short booklet with info about second grade, done by our grade team, a magnet with my school phone # and email address, and my home phone and email address. I don't mind giving them out. I rarely have parents who call me at home. There is also a goodie bag
for the kids with a pencil, bookmark, eraser, and Smarties. There is usually something from the office that also needs to go home, too. Last year I had a bowl of Hershey hugs and kisses. I asked each kid if they wanted a hug or a kiss! They always thought I meant a real hug and kiss because they couldn't see the bowl! The looks on their faces made me laugh! I did get some hugs, but definitely no kisses! Then I reached behind and pulled my bowl out and they could get a hug and a kiss! I'll probably do that again this year!:)
