First Week of School and First Day of School Activities

First week of school activities and back to school activities for First Grade / Grade One / or advanced Kindergarten. These are great first week of school activities to start on the first day of school and to finish up throughout the first busy week of back to school! Start your back to school time with engaging activities!

PLEASE NOTE:

Many of these activities will work for distance learning if you put together a printable packet or email items home. 9 of the pages work with the TpT Easel tool which allows students to add notes and annotations through an interactive layer and assign to students via Google Classroom. In addition, you are permitted to upload PDF pages to your learning platform as long as they are only accessible by your own students. An All About Me Boom deck digital activity is included as well. For more information about the TpT Easel tool, please see: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/digital?utm_source=TpT-header-menu
