I know a lot of teachers have a Dr. Seuss theme for their classrooms, so I thought I'd make an activity you can do with your students on the first day of school.  Simply run off the template. Students write the things they enjoyed doing the most on each stripe of the cat's hat.  Add a first day photo for that finishing touch.  There's a hat without the 1st day sentence as well, so you can use this activity during March's celebration of Seuss.

Each year for my Open House, as well as parent-teacher conferences, I put up a small table, covered it with a seasonal tablecloth and set a basket of mints on it, along with a sign that said: "Families Are Worth A Mint! Help yourself."

While doing research on the web, I came across a variety of similar ideas, including this adorable poem that was pinned, with no link to who the original writer was.  I decided to jazz this sweet sentiment up with a bit of clip art and my original saying.  Simply print and mount on construction paper.  I've also included some larger mints so you can reproduce my entire display.  Enjoy! :-)

Use this cute bicycle template for a sweet end of the year writing prompt, where students choose two wheels and write about their favorite things that year inside the spokes. You can also use it as an icebreaker at the beginning of the year, as an interesting way to get to know your new students.
