First Day of School Magnet

First of all, WOW! I'm not sure where all of these followers came from, but when I saw that I went from 7 to 20 something I was humbled and moved to tears. I am so grateful! Like I have said, if I can just share 1 thing that saves someone else time, mission accomplished!!

I just returned from a wonderful vacation with my awesome husband! 5 days on the river and then a wedding filled with many friends. We had a blast! But now, back to work. I must admit, my mind didn't really stop going the whole time.

I was going through my old files on my hard drive and came across this little booger. I totally forgot I used to do this! I usually just use a clothes pin, add a piece of magnet to the back, and hot glue a circle on the other side. I then let the kids decorate the circle on their first day back using old crayons and old markers. (This then leads a lesson on taking care of our supplies. When they show that they can take care of them, then I dump the new ones in the table bins. It's like Christmas!)

At the end of the day I attach this little ditty to the clothes pin and send it home to be on their refrigerator all year. (I did not make this poem up. I found it online about 2 years ago. I have searched and searched for the source. No luck. If you know of it, please share!!)

Print it on colored paper, or let the kiddos color it. Enjoy it HERE!
