Back To School Packet
I wanted to do something different for my Back to School night packet this year and through Pinterest, I found an idea on First Grade Fairy Tales that I loved! I created 26 of these and just like Kelly said on First Grade Fairy Tales, you will have to mess around with the folds and spacing of the words until you figure it out. I typed out everything I wanted to include, printed it out and then cut and pasted it on 5 sheets of white paper. I would use re-positionable tape because you will have to move things around a few times to get them just right. All of a sudden, it will come together. Then you just copy each page back to back and put two staples right in the middle!

Very pretty and useful way to publish your information! I wanted to share that I have my kindergarden packet from 1960 and it was published in a very similar format! The pages have faded, but the folding it the same! When I saw yours I was excited, but there is truly nothing new under the sun! (I am 57) I keep my booklet in my first grade classroom as a momento!

I’m so glad you made this !! So many people were asking how and like you said, it’s just trial and error. I hope it worked out well for your parents & thanks for stopping by ! 🙂

Jill June 24th….I love the idea of the Parent Handbook packet. If you could send me a copy that would be awesome.

Hi Jill,
I wish I had a copy to send you! I had to create this flip book the old fashioned cut and paste way. There was no easy way to get it to all layed out using the computer (yet!), but I’m still working on it! 😉

I’m going to do this with 8th graders !! I do foldables like this anyways, may as well have them create their own “syllabus foldable”. Much more interesting and engaging than me going through a regular print out syllabus with them the first day of school !!

Did you print front and back? I would love to see a picture of it opened to one page to get a better idea.
