Description

All About Me Activities is a 38-page back-to-school resource for preschool, Pre-K, TK and kindergarten. It helps young children introduce themselves, learn about their classmates and start building a classroom community, with early math, literacy, communication and social-emotional learning woven in.

Two class books sit at the center of the set. The All About Us Class Book and the Look Who's Here! Class Book give every child a page, and the finished books become favorites in the classroom library during the first weeks. A family letter explains the class book, and a Me Bag letter and sharing page invite children to bring a few treasures from home to talk about.

Math comes from the children themselves. Five class graphs ask how old students are, how many letters are in their names, what color their eyes are, how they get to school and which color they like best, with graph name cards and a discussion page. Measuring a shoe with cubes and measuring a hand add early measurement.

For literacy, an 8-page All About Me mini book and eight draw-and-write pages cover self portraits, names, families, favorites, birthdays, feelings at school, things children are good at and what they want to be when they grow up. Twelve circle time cards keep conversations going.

Two body craft templates, a bulletin board title and posters help you display the work. A 2-week study plan with teacher tips maps out the unit, and black-and-white pages save ink.
