First Day Art Project

  Do you need a fun, quick art project to complete with your class on the first day of school?
Each year, my team does the same art project on the first day of school.
We do it as an easy assessment- what can they do?
We want them to write their name, color, cut, and glue. (And of course follow directions!)

I decided to remake it, digital style, and give it you all.

How do you get a quick assessment of your students' abilities on the first day?

  4. Super cute! Last year we made popsicles, but I think I like this better. Not only would it be a great way to assess, but like you said, it does double duty as a scrapbook cover!! Thanks for sharing!

  5. What a cute idea!! Can you share more about your scrapbook? I've been teaching kindergarten for 5 years and I'm looking to shake things up next year and try lots of new things!

  8. I'm a 2nd grade teacher and even though this is for kinder, I want to give them this activity to get an idea of their abilities as well. In my experience, students are still struggling with their fine motor skills in 2nd and 3rd! I will have instructions written on the board (with visuals), I will read them to them, and then walk around to assess how they work independently. Great idea!
