Originally reviewed on TPTAwesome First Week Activity for K-6
I teach a K-6 art class and this was an awesome project for our first week of school. Staff handled writing for the students that were younger and the older students were completely independent. It was a great way for the students to get to know each other and for the staff to get to know the students.

Originally reviewed on TPTSo cute back to school craft
This was great! I loved this as a goal setting activity at the beginning of the year. I don’t usually have much we can do that is both cute and writing, so this was a fantastic add!
