PDF: Letter & A4

Tip: download the PDF for Letter or A4 paper, print it at 100% and use a pencil or crayon.

A page for the first day of any school year. Children write the grade they are starting (K for kindergarten, or 1 to 6), the date, their first name, their age and their teacher’s name, draw themselves on their first day and say what they are excited to learn. At the bottom they circle a face for how they feel: happy, excited, nervous or not sure, or draw their own.

Ideas for the first day

Hand it out as a calm first activity while families say goodbye.
Talk about the feelings faces first: it is fine to feel nervous and excited at the same time.
Keep the sheets and give them back at the end of the year, next to an I have grown page.

This is the US version: it says Grade, color and favorite. The New Zealand and Australia version says Year, colour and favourite.

Use on your class or library site

Paste this into your school, class or library web page. It shows the picture and a link back here, so families can print it themselves. You can change the wording.
