I use this writing activity with my 1st graders every year. I have them fill out the graphic organizer, then write about their 1st grade experiences. I bind them into a book and pass them to the Kindergarten teachers to read to their students. I also read it to my new class of 1st graders on the first day of school.
I have included graphic organizers, paper, and book covers for Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade.
Love! Love! Love this! What a great way to close the year. I'll definitely have my 1st graders use this and post them for our upcoming open house. Thank you for your time & generosity.

Great planning tool for this writing. I've done this in the past, but I think I'll get better writing next year when they plan it out! :)

I love this idea to share with parents of how their child is doing. It's very user-friendly too! Thanks!
This is perfect! I wanted to do something like this with my 1st graders, for the end of the year, but couldn't quite figure out how I wanted to set it up. I've downloaded both (to the teachers and to the students). Thank you so much! It is very cute!

I have been a teacher for 10 years. I have taught Art, 1st grade and 3rd grade, but my heart is definitely in 1st. I love to create things that I think will make learning more fun for my students.
