Grade 2: This first week of school activities pack for 2nd grade includes everything you'll need to establish a positive classroom climate and informally assess your students' writing abilities and self-confidence in second grade!

The summer mini-book, back-to-school glyph, first-of-the-year flip book, STEM challenge, and interest inventory are sure to help you understand your new class of students in no time and will also help students get to know each other!

These activities were specifically designed for 2nd grade, but there are also First Week of School Activities products available for 1st grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade in my TeachShare store!

PLEASE NOTE: The glyph in the printable file is DIFFERENT from the glyph in the Google Slides™ version due to the restrictions on using moveable clip art in Google activities.
