Self Portrait FREEBIE

by

I like to plan for self-portraits on the first week of school. They show me each student’s ability when it comes to fine motor skills and attention to detail. A read-aloud is always tied in to this lesson. We talk about things that we will learn in Kindergarten, this year. I also make sure that they understand that everyone CAN learn. It is very important that they believe in themselves and always try their best. Leo the Late Bloomer is a good book to use with this activity.

Freebie

Here is a free self-portrait template. The download includes two templates in English and two templates in Spanish.

 

Samples of the Spanish printables. The large face template is a good one to use in a Pre-K classroom on the first day of school. The smaller face template can be used in the Kindergarten classroom where students are able to draw more details.

 

Back-to-School Books

These are some books that can be used during your Back-to-School unit. I LOVE The Kissing Hand, Froggy Goes to School, Leo the Late Bloomer, and Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom!
Which books do YOU like to read? Are they on this list?

    I just posted a first day self portrait in TPT too (well, it was my first doc too)! Love that you do this with your Kinders as well: we usually read "The Kissing Hand", "My First Day of Kindergarten", "Kindergarten Rocks". I had never thought about using "Leo the Late Bloomer" before: thanks for the suggestion!
