7. Set up your teacher binder and meet your families
For you, not the students. Binder covers with matching spine labels, a substitute binder, undated planner pages, everything you hand families at meet the teacher and open house, parent communication forms, and the logs you keep records in — set it up once and use it all year.

A complete, fill-in-once substitute folder — a Dear Substitute welcome page, your daily schedule, a class roster, classroom procedures, important student notes, emergency contacts, and a feedback page the substitute leaves behind for you.
Undated planning pages you can reprint all year — a weekly lesson plan grid, a daily plan page, a blank monthly calendar, a priorities and to-do page, and a parent contact log. No dates printed anywhere, so they never go out of date.
Everything you hand families in the first week — a welcome letter template, a Meet Your Teacher page with a photo box, a student information form for families to complete and return, an open house sign-in sheet, and a classroom wish list with a volunteer sign-up.
Undated forms for every way you talk to families — a classroom newsletter, a conference sign-up schedule, a conference notes page, six cut-apart notes home, and a weekly home report for any student who needs a daily check-in.

Subject, object, possessive, and reflexive pronouns, pronoun case, and pronoun–antecedent agreement — one leveled Grades 3–6 resource with a complete teacher answer key.
Before the students arrive: print and laminate the book bin, supply, center, and table labels, then put up a bulletin board and your word wall header cards.
Day one: post the behavior clip chart and the Be a Good Listener anchor chart, and walk the class through both.
Day one, first hour: hand out an All About Me page or a first-day exit slip while you learn names, then run Classmate Bingo once everyone has settled.
Day one writing: hand out the Back to School writing paper while you finish setting up.
Week one: add the subject word wall cards and the anchor charts you will reference all year, and run the student interest inventory so you know what your class actually likes before you plan week two.
Week two: start sight word and math fact drilling with the flashcards, and begin the reward punch cards.
For yourself: print the binder covers, spine labels, and planner pages — and fill in the substitute binder now, while you still have time, so it is ready in a drawer when you need it.
For families: fill in the welcome letter and the Meet Your Teacher page before day one, and set the open house sign-in sheet and classroom wish list out on a table by your door.
