I have a total of 27 years teaching experience . After I received my M.Ed. from the University of Florida (hence the name "HappyEdugator"), I began teaching in elementary school, where I taught pull-out remedial classes for grades 2-5 and a section of K-1. Then I taught Pre-K for 5 years, before I went up to Middle School, where I have been in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Last year, I went back to 1st grade in a private setting. I have traveled worldwide and am also fluent in Spanish.

School Bus Safety Handouts. Back to School Safety Handouts. Great for back to school or school bus safety week.

Open House - Parent Donation Cards and Teacher Wish List for Back to School! Put these colorful cards out for Parent Night. Ask for donations to your class with these cute cards. I have made a teacher supply request or teacher wishlist (editable for your specific needs) and a set of sixteen cards that you can print out as few of or as many of as you wish. Included are cards for:
Hand sanitizer, Facial tissue, Disinfecting wipes, Pencils,
Filler Paper, Pens, Markers, Glue or glue sticks, Crayons, Safety scissors, Highlighters, Mechanical pencils, Composition books,
Spiral notebooks, Replacement lead, Cap erasers
I have also included blank cards so you can add items desired that are not included in the list above.
You can put them out on a table for parents to pick up if they want to donate to your class. If you want to be really cute, punch holes in them, tie with ribbon or yarn, and hang on a little tree or jewelry tree in your room for parents to take what they want to donate. I have also included thank you cards. Print out and attach a mint! Have a great year! - HappyEdugator

Math Activity - What is Your Name Worth? Back to school, beginning of the year, end of the year, or just for Math fun! Great counting money and addition practice. Print and go. Students get with partners and determine the value of their name by adding the values of the letters from the given code, and check each other's worth. Whose name is worth more? Another sheet has students figure out the value of their weekly spelling words. Kids will soon be figuring out the "values" of all kinds of things, and getting math practice while they are having fun. - HappyEdugator
