Come up with some creative decorating ideas, making sure they are student-centered. You COULD also mention a huge welcome sign, the daily schedule, age-appropriate posters, name TAGS for students, labeled desks (how will they be arranged). Or, mention that you might INVITE parents and students to visit the classroom the day before school starts, with the administrator’s permission. If you have a PORTFOLIO with have PICTURES of other first days of school, this is a great chance to share them with the panel.
