All teachers cannot escape back to school night! So why not make it as fun as possible?

Teachers decide all major points that would normally be covered during "Back to school night" and instead of the teacher explaining all the details-the kids do it. The kids are all assigned certain roles and then are video taped. The clips are then edited and turned into a move for the parents to watch on back to school night. Popcorn and punch can be served and the event can be turned into the best time ever! The movie can then be given to all the students at the end of the year as a reminder of how much they have grown since September. This is a great experience for the students to be a part of a team, speak in front of a camera, learn patience and to take turns.
