Each child in my class has a square of scrapbook paper in the hallway where I display their work throughout the year. For Open House, I clipped a "Secret Message" to the scrapbook squares. I then posted directions on my own scrapbook square beside the display.
The students each get this short poem, which I addressed to them and signed with love.
I think this easy kickoff is loads of fun and an easy way to get students excited for the new school year. How do you keep it class-y for Open House?
P.S. Unfortunately, I forgot to remind parents to take these notes when they left, so very few of them actually went home. If you decide to do something like this...remind a grown up! :)
