I created these packs after my first year of teaching when I learned (the hard way) just how vital the first few weeks of school are.

I realized I needed to really get to know my students, but I also learned I wanted to use the time in the first few weeks to allow my students to explore and learn important concepts in all subjects. There are a variety of great activities to do in the first few weeks, and social studies and teamwork activities are great for getting to know your students.

These activities were also designed with community, teamwork, and relationship-building in mind so that students can get to know each other while performing these fun activities.
