Back To School Survival Pack for First Grade

·
I know, if you are anything like me, you are always nervous about those first couple of weeks of school.  Will I have enough stuff for the kids to do?  What if I need something for a time filler?  What if they start driving me bonkers??
I designed my newest pack all around the idea of surviving the first two weeks of school!
Included are two weeks’ worth of activities, morning work, and fun pages…I also included an easy craft and emergent reader!  Although the pages are specifically for first grade, I think they would work for a high K which is why I included the themed pages for K-2 just in case someone needed them in the pack =)
These are just SOME of the pages included:

  Page 6 All About Your Name 
  Page 7 Name Class Graph
  Page 8 Summer Vacation
  Page 9 Love Your Grade

  28. I'm a special ed teacher working with K-4 students with behavioral challenges. This is my first year to teach first grade and I happened upon your pack. This would make my life so my easier! Most teachers have one grade level, sometimes two, but I have to plan for 4 grade levels every day/each week. Thank you for putting the pack together.

  69. Hi Jennifer,

    I'm a 1st grade teacher in Mexico City (I have taught French at pre-K and Kindergarten level in Atlanta, before coming to Mexico).
    I'm working on my lesson plan for the coming school year, and to be honest with you, the pack would be a very useful resource for our ESL classroom!

    Have a peaceful day,
    Caroline.

  121. Even though I have a year under my belt now I still feel just as overwhelmed by the first weeks of school. This would make me feel SO much better. I hope I win!

  131. I teach a pre-k program for students who are age appropriate for kindergarten, but are young so parents decide to wait a year and I think this would be fabulous for a little later in the year! I love the school house craft. I teach at a small church with a bell tower and it kind of looks like this 🙂 THANK YOU!

With 9 years of teaching Kdg in the same room/school…with so many friendships formed…I felt I needed a change…so off I go to a whole other school into first grade! EEEK! Giving someone a chance to win this is so awesome!!! I'm so nervous…and this could really give me a great start to hopefully a great year!! Thanks so much!!
