Happy first week of school and happy almost first week of school for those who have not started yet! I hope every had and has a wonderful first week! I started back with my students on Monday and we had a wonderful week! My new kiddos are absolutely adorable and so precious!
I currently have 18 students on my roster which is crazy for me to see! My first and second year of teaching kindergarten I had 30 and 34 students. My third year I had 23 students and now I have only 18! I keep asking our office secretary if some students haven’t shown up yet because I can’t get over how low my roster number is!
Our first week of school consisted of getting the students comfortable in their new classroom, meeting new friends, learning the rules and procedures, learning our names, math, reading lots of books, doing crafts, and lots and lots of FUN!!!
I teach in a school with a very high ESL population and most students do not attend preschool. The first week of school is very tiring for them and a HUGE adjustment from being away from home and having to be in school for an entire day. I am SOOOO proud of how well my kiddos did though and can’t wait for all there is to come this year!
Here is a look at our first week of school with TONS of FREEBIES for you to enjoy!
First Day of School
Thank you TOO MUCH! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE learning with you Jaime! You have helped me so much and made learning fun for my students! You are my idol and I am extra grateful for ALL you create and share! How did you make the name tracing and rainbow writing practice, Please?
Thanks, Jill 🙂
Hello, I love your page! Thank you for all of your great knowledge and information! Please tell me where can I find the rainbow writing template for the students to practice writing their names? Great idea!!
Thank you!!
Hi Jill!! Oh my goodness you are so incredibly sweet and kind!! You made my day!! Your words mean so much to me! I am so happy that your students have been having so much fun learning!
For the name tracing and rainbow writing, I made them with some bubble fonts but do not have a template quite yet. That is on my to do list and am hoping to get to it soon! I have a bunch of name activities I have been asked about that I hope I can make editable for everyone to use! Thank you so much again and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week and start of the school year! 🙂
Hi! I made those name writing activities, but do not have them accessible quite yet. That is on my to do list and am hoping to get to it soon! I plan on making a name activity pack that will have a bunch of activities and will all be editable. Thanks so much for your kind words!! 🙂
Hi! Do you have the file for the pencil craft? So cute!
