Welcoming a Student Teacher
By Joy

Hi Jen,

The last two posts had some really good ideas. Here are a few more:

* Decorate a desk for the student teacher and don't forget to make a nametag for the desk. Fill it with some teacher supplies.

* Fill a basket
with student teacher goodies: some snacks, fun colored pens, stickers, markers, post-it notes, etc.
* Purchase a disposible camera or encourage your student teacher to buy one. Have this handy at all times so that you can take pictures of the student teacher working with the children.
* Make some cute labels with the student teacher's name so that he/she can label his/her materials.
*

Purchase a 14 gallon Rubbermaid tub for the student teacher to store his/her files. These tubs fit file folders perfectly. You may also want to purchase a package of file folders to add to the box.

* Make a binder with important school information: names of secretaries, principal, other teachers and staff members, map of the school, school procedures, any welcome notes you may have sent to the parents, supplies list, book lists, perhaps a school calendar, any other fun teacher stuff or articles that are interesting.

*Take a class picture on a digital camera and give it to the student teacher so that he/she can begin to learn the children's names.

*Make a quick welcome book with letters and pictures made by the kids.

I hope that you have fun with your student teacher.
