Back to School Activities Bundle – Teacher Feedback:
- “Great activities to choose from. It’s so nice not having to “re-invent the wheel”!
- “I love the idea of letter writing at the beginning of the year. Gives me a chance to see what their writing is like. I am looking forward to returning to the students the letters they wrote in September!!”
- “I enjoyed using some of these activities at the start of the year. I moved up a grade so I have almost all of the same students as last year so I needed some new ideas for my back-to-school activities! It worked out great :)”
- “I love how engaging all of these activities are for back to school. I’ve been on mat leave so I’m looking forward to using something that will help me transition into the classroom easily.”
