 WELCOME! WHO'S TERRIFIC AND MAGNIFICENT? YOU ARE! Dear ________________________________ Welcome to your new classroom. Coming home with you today is a surprise bag, just for your first day at school. Inside are many items that have very special meanings. Empty the bag with your Mom or Dad and let them read each special meaning as you find the "object" to go with the sentence. Always remember, this is your classroom, a place where you can grow, laugh, learn . . . a special place for you to belong! 2. _____The golden thread is to remind you that friendship ties our hearts and minds together. 3. _____The life saver is to remind you that you can come to me anytime you need help or just to talk. 4. _____The chocolate "kiss" is to remind you that you are loved and will make you feel better when you are sad. 5. _____The tissue is to remind you to always help dry someone else's tears when you see them crying. 6. _____The eraser is to remind you that it is okay to make mistakes . . . that's the best way to learn! 7. _____The shiny star is to remind you to always shine by trying to do your very best every time. 8. _____The bandage is to remind you to help heal hurt feelings in yourself, as well as your friends around you. 9. _____The rubber band is to remind you to put your arms around another person everyday, and share a hug! 10. _____The toothpick is to remind you to "pick out" only the good qualities in others as well as yourself! 11. _____The sticker is to remind you that we all stick together in this room, and always help each other! 12. _____The penny is to remind you that you that you are very special and valuable, and there is not another one just like you! 13. _____The candle is to remind you that we are going to celebrate learning this year.
