About this resource

This writing activity is an interesting way for children to record words related to first day of school. They can then combine the collection of these words to write a text about their experience of first day of school. Furthermore, these words can be used for spelling practice.

In addition, all the children in the class can collect the words they recorded and make a school dictionary together, thus having an enriched list of related words.
