On the first day of school, have the students complete this activity to tell what things they are looking forward to, worried about, scared of, hoping for...etc. They can share with the whole class, a small group, a partner, or just with you. But it's a great way to get to know the people you'll be spending the year with in your classroom.

This poster (can also be printed as a handout) will help guide students in making their sentences more detailed and specific; walking them through adding various pieces of information to their sentences to answer all questions the reader might have.

This is a bulletin board idea to show students exactly how changing the way they look at something can change how they feel about it. It contains emoji's on each page for an "Emoji'n the Possibilities" Emoji Theme, but the file is 100% editable so feel free to make it the best for you!

Students can use this foldable as a visual for a book report, designing their own book cover, or in any other way you can imagine. Just print the page, copy it for your students, let them design their own book cover for a writing piece or draw the cover of a book they're reporting on. Then cut, fold, and glue!

This poster SHOWS students that - while knowledge and hard work are important - there is something even more important!
