For the first week this was an awesome project do with the kids. It wasn’t just a craft to be a craft, it was easily made into a lesson about the kids skills. I have received so many compliments and the kids are so proud of their work! I love how you can personalize it by typing their names in!!

I like this back to school craft. I think it was meaningful because students were able to think about their goals for the year. It’s very cute and will be great for Back-to-School night to have up on the walls. The students enjoyed doing this activity.
