Freebies Galore for your Meet and Greet, Orientation or Open House!!

Hi friends!
I know, like me, many of you start school THIS WEEK!? Can you believe it?!? Where did the Summer go??? We have Kindergarten Orientation on Thursday. I posted a treasure hunt a while back that I have the kiddos do on orientation night to get to know the classroom a little bit better so they're not so scared and intimidated on that 1st day.
Well, I had quite a few requests on that post to make different versions...so, I thought I post some of them so you all can pick which one best suits your class:) If you love the freebies I post, please consider donating to my donors choose project.  But PLEASE leave me a comment!;) They make me HaPpY;)
Here are the original 2 that I posted. They are treasure hunts for Kindergarten. One is with lockers and the other is with cubbies. Click on the images to get a copy if you haven't yet:)


Here's another one for Kindergarten with a table instead of a desk:)

Here's one for all you Pre-K teachers!!;) ♥ the request for the potty:)
Here's one for all you 1st grade teachers!;)
And here's the big one...sheeew! This one took some time:) It's more of a "find these spots in your classroom and put your supplies away" version:)
There you have it!;) Hopefully, out of all of these, you can all find one that fits your classroom needs:)
P.S. Don't forget about the awesome giveaway that I'm having right now with a whole bunch of amazing "Back to School" resources from The fabulous Deedee Wills!!! You can enter our giveaway here!;)

    I love this it is so cute for meet the teacher! Only my classroom has tables instead of desks and we have cubies instead of lockers. Could you fix the kindergarten one with the table and change the locker to cubbies?
    Please and Thank you.

    What an adorable idea! I wondered about a K one with a cubbie and a table? The one with table just has lockers. Is that something you can easily switch out the clip art and provide? I would so love it! Thanks a bunch :)

    Hi Katie! I love your freebie! Thank you so much for sharing. I used the one you had last year for my Open House and it was a big hit. I know you had 12 different options for pre-k last year, can I find the different options somewhere this year too? I was hoping not to use the same version again, but I will if you don't have the options I need available. Thanks again for the cute freebie!

    Hi Kate! I was wondering if you could edit the 1st grade scavenger hunt to say "Your Table" instead of "Your Desk" and if you could change "The Treasure Box" option to "The Bathroom?" This would be incredibly helpful. I know my team would love to use it too. My e-mail is kfinkbeiner@cbsd.org if you could e-mail me the file. Many, many thanks!

    These pages will be wonderful for my kindergarten! Would it be possible to get one with "your table" and "your backpack hook"? If not, then it would be great to have one with "your table" and "your cubby". My e-mail is JHernandez@elcsh.org. Thank you so much!
