About this resource
This writing activity is an interesting way for children to record events and ideas about the first day or the first days of school. It combines a variety of tasks, including reportage and drawing.
This product can be used both at school and at home. It can also be an opportunity (at home) for parent or guardian and child to work together, so that they can complete the worksheet together and then the child can present it the next day to the whole class.
