The Complete Welcome Back to School Book

by Marilynn Barr

We've all experienced it-those first few hectic, exasperating, exhilarating weeks of school. With names to remember, routines to learn, rules to establish, desks to arrange, bulletin boards to decorate . . . wouldn't it be great if there was a way to make those opening days and weeks go smoothly? Now there is! With The Complete Welcome Back-to-School Book you'll create a warm, stimulating atmosphere right from the start with room decorations and "extras" based on seven favorite Fall, Rain Forest, Sports, Bugs, Outer Space, Sea Creatures and Classic Tales. You'll find ready-to-use door adornments, bulletin boards, student work displays, rules charts, job charts, class news displays, get-acquainted activities, name tags, desk tags, writing papers, awards, snacks, media ideas, clip art and more. And to make back-to-school even easier, we've put an array of forms and letters at your fingertips, including welcome letters; "all about me" fill-ins; notes for volunteers; requests for supplies; homework reminders; home reading records; forms for lesson plans, attendance, grades and substitute teachers, to name just a few. Here's one big book filled with everything you need for a creative, easy-does-it start to the school year.
