Hi everyone!
I wanted to jump on here and share a little something I've done in previous years to get kids excited for the upcoming school year. At my old school we hosted our Open House the Friday before the first day of school and it was a chance for students to come visit the classroom, meet their new teacher, and become familiar with their desk so there's less anxiety on the first day of school.
Along with a little classroom scavenger hunt that helps us teachers collect and organize school materials, I place a little treat on each desk as a thank you for 'Popping In'. Every year it's such a hit with the kids and the parents appreciate that extra fun detail before the first day of school. After the first year I did this I was always known as the teacher who gave out candy, haha!
This takes very little prep and you can even order *100 Blow Pops on Amazon for only $17 dollars! Once you receive your pops, just print these designs on cardstock weighted paper and tape to your lollipops! Easy peasy! You can even hold onto these pops and use them for birthdays or other celebrations in your room.

I've given my previous pop labels a little bit of update featuring new fonts and some clip art. I really hope you enjoy this update and now you can get this resource for only $1 as they're a part of my $1 Deals over at my TpT shop!
I'd love to know, what fun little treats do you provide for your kiddos at the beginning of the year? How do you make them feel welcome?
