Back to School Gift

In the past I have given my students smarties on the first day of school with a little note on them.  See them here.  I decided to make it a little more exciting this year and add a pencil as well since I was able to buy 30 for $2.50 at Walmart. 

The note now says: 

I am so glad to have such a "sharp" student in my class.  What a "smartie" you are!  Welcome to second grade.  We are going to have a great year!
Love,
Miss Paul

I am moving apartments so I have spent the past few days working on packing, but I will be back to my classroom on Friday to add some finishing touches before I go back to work on Monday.  Classroom pictures will be up soon!
