Originally reviewed on TPTLoved this colourful and fun activity!
My grade 2 class did this activity for a back to school bulletin board. It was so cute and simple to prepare (the only thing you need to do in advance is type the students’ names in), and the kids were so proud of their finished work! Thanks so much!
