Something that we love to do is document this important occasion. The parents also really love and appreciate the forever treasured 1st day of school pictures. You can see both of our frames and of course add your own flare and style to yours. Remember this isn't just for the teachers out there. Parents, this can be a picture prop that becomes a 1st day of school tradition for years to come... you just won't add "kindergarten" to the frame so it can be used year after year as they grow.
:)
These frames were fun and easy to make. We got our frames inexpensively from Michaels, which is where we also got the letters, paint, poof balls, etc. The beauty about Michaels is they love teachers (with the constant discount) and they always have sales.

Another first day/first week picture we like to take is the "hello, my name is..." picture. This picture is great for the classroom door with the title: Our (K247) Classroom Community. We printed the signs (from Ketchen's Kindergarten blog in 2012) on cardstock in multiple colors and had the student pick the color they wanted. After the pictures are printed, you can write the name of the student on the picture in the white space. The families really loved it and it was a fun way for others in the school community to get to know our little ones and learn their names quickly. Remember to take the your picture too!
