Back to School Already?!

I am always amazed at how fast the break seems to be.  Maybe we just plan so many things that we don't have a lot of free time.  I feel like I've been gone the majority of the break and now I have no time left.  As I'm trying to get used to the idea of going back to work, I wanted to make sure I had some fun activities for my students.  This is a great Back to School packet with 11 activities.  It will be a great resource for all during beginning of the year assessments.  I hope you find it useful!

The packet containing all 11 activities can be found here.



Here are the activities that can be found in the packet. You can find these activities individually in my TPT shop by clicking on the activity titles.

 2. Welcome Back to School Word Bank-Students try to create as many words as they can only using the letters found in "Welcome Back to School"
