A Back To School Freebie

For all of our Northern Hemisphere friends heading back for 

your new school year I have a wee gift just for you.

Down in NZ we have just started our 3rd term and are in the thick of winter.

 I managed to sneak away for a little ski holiday in gorgeous Queenstown. 

As well as skiing some of my favourite things to do are a lunch at Millbrook Resort or Amisfield Vineyard a wander through Arrowtown and a stroll through Queenstown. 

I hardly took any photos but I have added a few below.

Lunch at Millbrook

Anyway more importantly I know those first few days in Kindergarten can be tricky so hence this is a simple little booklet that may be a help in your first few days of Kindergarten.

I thought I might use it as a quick and simple assessment, just to give me a snapshot of where everyone is.
But it also can be used as an aid  tool to teach and introduce simple skills such as name writing, alphabet identification, numbers, cutting and pasting, color identification, drawing, tracing and shape identification.
You could also use each page and expand each activity and use as a way to introduce a teaching point like scissor rules.

It's hard those few days, to keep everyone busy and happy and sometimes they just whip through something that you had hoped may take longer so print it off and use it as a just in case I need something extra.

Use it however you like, I hope it is helpful.

Simply print staple down the sides and cut in half to give you 2 booklets.
There are 7 activities.

The activities include,

Color identification

Name writing and identification of letters in name.

Tracing

AND 

Age and numbers 1 to 10 tracing and writing.

Cutting and pasting.

Self and friend drawing

Draw.. What is in your lunchbox today?

1 to 1 matching shape matching.

This booklet is in US letter size paper with the spelling color.  I will duplicate in A4 paper with the spelling of colour but with holidaying, the beginning of term and other products on the go I felt that option could wait just a little while.

Good Luck!
