This first-week-of-school activities pack for 2nd grade includes everything you’ll need to establish a positive classroom climate and informally assess your students’ writing abilities and self-confidence!
The summer mini-book, back-to-school glyph, first-of-the-year flip book, STEM challenge, and interest inventory will help you get to know your new class in no time and help students get to know each other!
These activities were designed for 2nd grade, but I also offer First Week of School Activities products for 1st grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade in my TPT store!
PLEASE NOTE: The glyph in the printable file is DIFFERENT from the glyph in the Google Slides™ version due to the restrictions on using movable clip art in Google activities.
