Getting to know your students the first week of school will be the foundation to the rest of your school year. An abundance of worksheets to choose from.

This is a good bundle. Some items were repetitive, but got the job done!

It saved me so much planning time and kept my students engaged from start to finish. You can tell the creator is an experienced educator – the quality and thoughtfulness really show. I’ll definitely be checking out more resources from this seller. Highly recommend to any fellow teachers looking for reliable and creative materials!

This was great to use for the beginning of the year. You can pick and choose which parts work for you. My favorite part was the scavenger hunt for people in the room that have done certain things.

I loved this resource. We have a curriculum that doesn’t start for the first three weeks of school so this is an excellent thing to use to get to know my students.
Tajah J. –
This is a great resource! It has truly helped my 3rd grade students master and understand the concepts. My students are so thankful, and I know this will continue to benefit their education throughout the year.

My students loved to interview their classmates. Everything by this teacher-author is great.
Renee C. –
I love get to know you activities but some of these were too challenging for the students I was using them with. As a special education teacher, I have to make sure the activities don’t have too much reading/writing right away in the beginning of the year to “set my students up for failure” right away. These did have a lot of writing and not a ton of space. It would be a great resource for gen ed or to type into.
Rachel A. –
I used this with my upper grade students and it was great to get to know them during the first week of school.
Mallory A. –
This was a great activity for the beginning of the year!

I will be using it for my first week of school in the fall, it seems to be a fun resource which will engage the students.
Elizabeth S. –
Used as an activity in the beginning of the year for 5th grade. Nice to have up on the walls to help kids get to know each other.
