EVERY SINGLE freebie for your Meet and Greet or Open House

Hi Friends!
Last Summer I posted some freebies for you to use at your Open House, Meet and Greet or Orientation. It's just  a little "treasure hunt" that you can use for your students to become more familiar and comfortable with the classroom. You can read my original posts here and here.
Well, last Summer, I just kept getting requests from people on how they wanted me to fix them to meet their classroom needs. Now, this Summer the requests have started again:)
So, I decided to remake the freebie and make EVERY SINGLE option that I could think of! I think there is something here for everyone!!!;)

If you teach Kindergarten click on the image below to get 9 different options for Kindergarten!

If you teach First Grade-click on the image below to get 9 different options for First Grade!

If you teach preschool-click on the image below to get 12 different options for Preschool!

If you grab any of these...I would LOVE it if you would leave me a comment and follow my blog!;) Thanks!
Enjoy!!!

    Thank you, Katie! We do a "Sneak Peek" a couple of days before school starts, and I made a similar treasure hunt last year. BUT, it's not as cute as these, so I think we'll be using yours this year!

    I love your "treasure hunt!" After all your hard work, I hate to ask but... Would it be possible for you to make one that says "Welcome to Pre K?" I teach Pre-Kindergarten and would love to use your "treasure hunt" at Meet the Teacher.

    Thank you!!! Last year, I accidentally copied the Preschool hunt and, of course, my kindergartners were quick to point this out.

    Hope you are well and that we can see everyone soon!

    Thank you so much! I love all of the different options. I also love that it was a freebie. Since the clip charts for behavior are a big trend right now, a clip chart icon would be a great replacement for the teacher's desk. I want my parents to look at the clip chart also. It is just a suggestion for next year. I am planning on using this for our "Meet the Teacher Night"

    Thanks Katie! I plan on using this open house night. I think I will cut one apart and put the clip-art pic on the area they are to find. Just one more step to help them!

    These are so awesome! Thanks so much for making such a variety! I've always wanted something like this, and I couldn't figure out how to make it work. I need to add something about finding the bathroom. Can you tell me where you got the cute clip art? I might just find something through Microsoft and place it over one of the less important pictures you have included. I hope that's ok?!?

    I saved the First Grade set. I actually teach 2nd so I will just change the grade before copying. I really appreciate that you provide so many versions. I have tables in my classroom and was happy to see you had that as an alternative to desks. Thanks!

    Hi Katie,
    Thank you so much for sharing this freebie. I used it last night for the first time during my Open House and it was a HUGE HIT! Hooray! It gave the parents something to do (stay busy) with their kid while I had time to greet each person who came into the room. Instead of feeling cornered in conversations (not that I don't like talking with parents)...It was a fun and social way for me greet them and get them to learn about our classroom. The picture prompts helped the kids be able to take "control" and also it was very ELL friendly for my many families for whom English is not the first language. I just wanted you to know what a great success this was!

    Finding something like this is very rare! And I’m pretty sure that the writer and admin must be really proud that the article gets tons and tons of replies. And I was fascinated by the delivery and execution of the article. I’m a beginning blogger and I could say this really helps.

    Thank you so very much for these awesome freebies. I used it last year for my Kindergarten class. We do not use a Treasure Box however. Could you share your text font as I am thinking of cutting and pasting to change that particular block on the page? I love them!!
