Meeting your teacher and seeing your classroom for the first time can be really intimidating. A welcoming environment and a warm smile from your teacher can make all the difference on feeling comfortable on the first day of school. But if you want to really want to welcome the students, try giving them a small gift. With a cactus themed classroom these little gifts were a perfect fit. I even completed them with a cactus homework pass. Be sure to download the Free Cactus Homework Pass Printable here!
Count out enough canvas cactus bags for your whole class.
Decide what gift you want to give your students. I decided to give them shuttle pens so they always have an option to use when correcting papers! I added a Sharpie as well, just because whenever we need to use one as a class, they always seem to be scrambling to find one. ;)
Place the goodies inside the bag and attach a homework pass using washi tape! Download the Free Cactus Homework Pass Printable here!
Leave one cactus gift on each desk and wait to see their precious faces light up when they see it!
