I love this and I know my kiddos will love it next year! I will say that the last item I bought that was labeled "mega" had around 300 pages. I mean that to be constructive, not whiny, because I know I will use and enjoy this unit!
You are welcome!! Our kids really enjoyed the I have who has game. We also love using some of the work pages for morning work or quick formative assessments!! Hope you enjoy!!
I'm so excited to use this! This will be my first year of teaching kindergarten after 10 years in other grades. Looks like this might just start off the year in a great way. Thanks.
Great to hear! Welcome back to kindergarten! We've just finished up week 4, and used nearly everything from the pack! Hope it makes your back to school a breeze!
This packet is awesome! I already used some of the sheets the first day. The kids were so excited to do their "work" to go along with the story First Day Jitters!
Woohoo! That's a great idea! Have fun! We started last week and the pack is working great for our kiddos! They have especially loved the reading activities! Good luck with your new class!
I just got through making copies and getting things ready for my own kiddos! Hope you have a great back to school and the pack works great! Thanks for the feedback!

Hi i like this product but i wanted to know if it is good to too easy for first grade???? let me know asap
thanks
There are some things that will work super with your firsties like the reading lessons for The Kissing Hand and First Day Jitters. They have good story comprehension activities that are perfectly suited for 1st. There are parts that I think would be GREAT for review like the shape graph, I Have, Who Has # recognition to 30 game, "I Have, Who Has letter and letter sounds game, and number sets. I do think some of it may be too easy depending on the level of your babies though. For instance, the color collages, color word pages, and letter strokes may be way too easy. I think I included almost all of the pages in the preview. Check that out and hopefully it'll give you a good picture of what may or may not work for your kiddos.
I just saw your back to school pack. It looks very cool! Since I am new to TPT and selling clipart, it was fun to see one of my pieces in your set. I was just wondering where you found it.
I bought your Community Helpers pack for $2 here on TPT. I am SOOOOO glad that our very own sellers are offering clipart. It makes me proud to use products from other TPT sellers! I put links to your store on the packet cover and inside the packet on the page with the graphics, so hopefully more people will find you!
I am SO glad you like it! My summer sales have been pretty slow, and I actually already sold one of these mega packs THIS morning after posting it earlier today! I am sure it was the awesome graphics from you that helped it to sell!
