This resource is PERFECT for students who are starting a new activity or beginning the school year. It’s a great tool to use on the first day of school to help your students set goals and plan out what they want to accomplish this year.
Encourage your students to brainstorm a list of things they want to achieve and offer some ideas and guidance to help them get started.
Helping your kids to identify their goals and desires is key to fostering positive thoughts and motivation throughout the school year. By doing so, they’ll be more engaged and enthusiastic about the learning process.
The Bucket and Spade Craft is an EXCELLENT choice for bulletin boards. I HIGHLY recommend printing it on card stock for the best results. This craft is perfect for a back-to-school or beach-themed project.

This resource provides a unique opportunity to focus on students as distinct and diverse individuals. Instead of asking generic questions about their names and favorite things, it encourages inquiries that facilitate self-recognition of their emotions, needs, and desires.
Teachers consistently prioritize the well-being of their students and the involvement of parents. Therefore, engaging in an “A Letter to My Family†activity is an exceptional way to inform parents about their children’s experiences during the first week of school. Parents value a wide range of information beyond just routines and schedules; they also desire insights into their children’s emotional management and overall well-being.
The first week of school presents a prime opportunity to encourage students to familiarize themselves with their school environment and openly communicate their thoughts, needs, and concerns with teachers, counselors, and other staff members. When students feel a genuine sense of belonging within their school, they are more likely to thrive academically.
These activities promote a feeling of belonging are often referred to as school connectedness, wherein connected students believe that their parents, teachers, school staff, and peers genuinely care about their well-being and academic progress.
