Welcome to our “School” – First Day of School Activity and Bulletin Board Display

Back to school means a whole new batch of students are coming into your classroom. On day one, get to know your students by having them complete our Welcome to our “School” glyph activity. 

To complete, students will follow a series of prompts on the glyph checklist. Each section of the checklist corresponds to a numbered section on our fish template. Students are directed to color/draw and complete each section according to their interests and personal information. 

In the end, students finish up with a unique and colorful personalized fish that highlights their individuality. These make an amazing back-to-school bulletin board display.
