Self-Portrait Template
Students draw themselves at the beginning of the year. Includes a template of a student head and shoulders to make this task easier for youngsters.
“My Favorites” Page
A space for students to list things like their favorite food, book, color, and more—helps teachers and classmates get to know each other.
“What Will I Learn This Year?” Page
A short writing activity where students share what they’re excited to learn. This gives them a chance to think ahead, gives teachers a quick look at writing skills, and creates a clear point of comparison for the end of the year.
“What Did I Learn This Year?” Page
A reflective writing activity where students list what they learned in first grade. It’s a chance for them to feel proud of their accomplishments—and when placed next to the beginning-of-year page, it clearly shows their growth.
Selfie Page
A photo booth-style page where students glue a photo of themselves from the first week of school. Includes both boy and girl versions.
Editable Height Measurement Labels
Includes labels to record student height. Names can be typed into the editable fields or printed for students to write their own names. Each label is taped to a piece of yarn that matches the student’s height, making it easy to store and compare at the end of the year.
Individual Time Capsule Cover Pages
Cover pages for storing each student’s time capsule in a manila folder. Options are included for Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade, with both boy and girl versions to choose from.
Whole Class Time Capsule Labels
Labels for decorating a Pringles can used to store all student time capsule pages together. Perfect for rolling up and keeping each student’s activities in one place. Includes label options for Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade.
Printing the Pringles can labels on Astrobrights paper adds a fun pop of color and really makes the class time capsule stand out!
Your time capsule activities can be stored individually in manila envelopes or as a whole class in a Pringles can. Labels are included for both options, so you can choose what works best for your classroom.
Height measurement labels can be typed or handwritten. The page is editable with a blue text field for adding student names—this blue field is just for typing and won’t show up when printed. You can also print the labels blank and have students write their names themselves.
The time capsule activities are flexible to fit your schedule. They can be completed in one day or spread out in smaller parts across the week.
Helps build classroom community right from the start, giving students a fun way to share about themselves.
