New Teachers- Vaughan Open House Ideas

Ashley, Kristen, and Jennifer gave the following Open House ideas to the new teachers at Vaughan. The parent quiz is for the kids to fill out prior to Open House as a key. As parents enter the room, they work the quiz on the child's desk; this gives the parents something to do as they enter and wait for everyone to arrive. The students use their key the next day to grade how well their parents know them. They LOVE this!
