I know… the dreaded words… “Back to School”. We just finished one school year and I am already looking ahead. I like to be ahead of the game, but I think I have outdid myself this time! I have put together two Back To School packages to make the transition to the new school easier. Two literacy centers that are ready, you just need to hit ‘print’!
1- A set of 8 cards to be placed around the classroom and a recording sheet. Students must find all the word cards are write the corresponding words on the recording sheet.
2- Students must use the recording sheet to find words around the classroom that start with the same letters that spell “Back to School”.
I like these write-the room activities, it allows the students to explore the classroom, while still having a focus.
The second pack includes 5 writing prompts that get your students thinking and writing about their back to school experience!
This package included 5 writing sheets with these prompts:
* How did you feel on the first day of school?
* What is one thing you would like to learn about this year?
* What makes you excited about coming to school?
* What is something your classmates should know about you?
* What do you like to eat for lunch?
Use these in your students’ writing journals or for a literacy center! This is a great way to get your students writing at the beginning of the school year.
