First Day of School Quick Write Activity

 
 I am hearing from so many teacher friends who are hard at work preparing for the start of the 2013-2014 school year.  I must admit I am not there yet myself.  We start back after Labor Day this year so I am enjoying some extra weeks of summer fun. I have had requests for the "I'm glad to be in grade three" activity sheet.  I used to post my things on Scribd and this was one of them. Please do NOT pay Scribd for this one.  I have reformatted this and have placed it on TPT as a free item.
 Be sure to click the "Follow" button as I am moving more free items from Scribd to TPT this summer.
 
This particular activity sheet is placed on my students' desks when they walk in the door the first day. It gives them something to work on as others arrive.  Students decorate the number three or fill it with pictures that represent themselves or their new grade level. This also gives me a very quick and informal assessment of their ability as a writer and speller.  It also helps me gauge their feelings regarding this brand new year.
 
 
 
Here is the new and improved version for both second and third graders:

  10. Is it possible to find one for first grade? Or maybe just say which fonts were used, so we can make our own? Thanks!
