I’ve seen a lot of pins on Pinterest and gotten a few emails about my student info setup for the beginning of the year. My school does a super fun “Sneak a Peek” the Thursday before school starts, and so this is what was on each student’s desk when they came to check it out.

I had a goodie bag which contained a bottle of bubbles with a fun label (“First Grade is Bubbling With Excitement”), a “First Graders are Awesome” pencil, and an eraser.

There was also a “Meet the Teacher” info sheet that told my kiddos and their families about myself- things like where I went to school, why I teach, about my family, and how long I’ve been teaching. It also included a picture of my fur-baby and a list of all my fave things (color, food, drink, sport, candy etc.). I’m not including this for download because it contains personal info about myself.

I had a blank sentence strip for the students to write their names while they were checking things out. I did that for 2 reasons- the first was to see what name they really prefer to go by, and the second being so that I could assess their writing- upper/lowercase letters, spacing, size.

Lastly, there was a student info sheet for the parents to take home and fill out about their child.
