Popping in to Say Thanks

I've been running at full speed this week trying to get ready for our first day of school on Monday. Tomorrow is our back to school night. When I saw this awesome open house idea by Jodi from her wonderful blog Fun in First Grade, it was calling my name! I already had this box of popcorn that I had bought at the end of last school year for my class. I ended up only using a couple of packs so I had just enough packs left for my new students. 

Jodi had posted this adorable printable so all I had to do was print them and cut them out. Then I taped them onto the bags of popcorn. So stinkin' cute. And oh so simple which was one of the absolute best parts after spending way too many hours at school this week and coming home worn out tonight. If you're like me and you're running out of time before open house, this would be a great little project to put together quickly. Head over to Fun in First Grade to print your own.
My printer was being weird and printed a mini popcorn machine on top of the bigger one in the bottom right corner on a few of them. I ended up not using those. I didn't realize I still had one in the bunch when I took this pic. I was just too tired to take a new pic after I changed it out. Ha!
Tomorrow is sure to be another long day. Fortunately, our new principal told us that since we are required to stay late for open house two hours that we get to come in two hours later tomorrow morning!!! Sleeping in pretty much sounds like the most amazing thing ever to me! Of course, we've had plenty of meetings and a math textbook training along with two new state evaluation process trainings this week. {I won't even go there on that last one. Ahh!} Our new principal seems very fair though and willing to listen. She has also shared some wonderful ideas of her own so I'm looking forward to good things. 

Ok, off to bed now so I can take advantage of those much needed extra two hours of sleep. Can't wait for my new kiddos to pop into my room tomorrow night so I can meet them and give them these goodies! Thanks so much for sharing this fabulous idea, Jodi! I love it! :)

  3. Amanda - I love the part about your husband not cringing if you tell him you're going to Costco!

    Ashley - I usually just put some candy out for the students so it's nothing fancy. They seemed pretty content with Tootsie Pops though. ;)

  6. I do this for report card/ parent conference nights. I have a very low percentage of parents who do attend these nights. It's just a nice way to say 'thanks' for them coming in and meeting with me.

  8. This makes me feel I am not smarter than a fourth grader because every time I sit to write my report, I need the dissertation editing services. This has become very difficult for me now. Maybe the intensity of studies have increased and this is the case with every one and not just me.

  9. Certainly! MATLAB is a powerful programming language and computing environment commonly used in various fields such as engineering, mathematics, and science. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and functions for numerical and scientific computing, data analysis, visualization, and algorithm development. When it comes to Matlab assignment help students are often tasked with solving problems or implementing specific algorithms using MATLAB. These assignments aim to enhance their understanding of concepts and their problem-solving skills. MATLAB is known for its ability to perform complex mathematical calculations, such as solving equations, numerical integration, and numerical differentiation. Students might be asked to implement such computations using MATLAB functions and syntax.
