Product description

From the author

Welcome incoming second graders with printable folded cards and an About the Teacher page. The 17-page PDF includes prewritten welcome messages, teacher-illustration choices, a no-teacher-picture design, black-and-white and color versions, and assembly directions.

A 12-slide editable PowerPoint lets you personalize names and messages. Complete the teacher prompts before sharing the cards. Classroom procedures, curriculum summaries and contact-information fields are not supplied as a family information packet.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students read a personalized welcome note from their teacher to build a sense of classroom community on the first day of school.

Teaching tips

  • Fold the double-sided card in half, then fold left to right, before filling in the student's name, teacher's name and the four About-the-Teacher prompts by hand.

  • Choose the black-and-white version to save on color ink, or the full-color version for a more polished first-day handout.

  • Use the editable PowerPoint version to write a personal note instead of the pre-written "Dear ___" message.

Skills covered

  • Classroom-community building — students receive a personalized note and a short "About the teacher" profile to read on the first day of school.

  • Card assembly and customization — teachers fold, hand-write, or digitally edit each card using the included black-and-white, color or editable PowerPoint versions.
