Back-to-school season can be exciting—but let’s be real, it’s also overwhelming. There’s classroom setup, new student names to learn, routines to teach, and oh yes… actual lesson planning. That’s why I created my Back to School Bundle — a low-prep, high-impact resource designed to make your first week easier and more engaging for your students.
Whether you’re a classroom teacher or supporting students in a resource room, this bundle brings together meaningful, fun activities that help build classroom community and target foundational math and SEL skills.
This print-and-go packet is ideal for grades K–2 and includes:
✏️ All About Me worksheet: A simple way to get to know your students and create a welcoming environment.
🔢 Counting Pages: Visual count-and-color activities that reinforce number sense in an interactive way.
đź§© Patterning Practice: A cut-and-paste activity to help students recognize and complete simple patterns. Great for fine motor skills, too!
🕵️‍♀️ Scavenger Hunt: Use classroom objects or the included printable picture cards to get students moving, exploring, and collaborating on day one.
Every activity was designed to require minimal prep so you can focus on what really matters—connecting with your new group of learners.
This resource supports early math skills aligned with Common Core Standards, including:
Counting and cardinality (K.CC)
Sorting and classifying (K.MD)
Simple algebraic thinking (patterns!)
Basic data and geometry foundations
You can feel confident that your students are learning and practicing key skills while having fun and settling into their new classroom routine.
Teachers who’ve used this resource say it’s:
âś… Easy to prep
âś… Perfect for the first week of school
âś… A great way to build relationships and assess early skills
âś… Ideal for centers, morning work, or early finishers
