Back to School Name Activity for Students

During the first week of school, we work on name activities in our first grade classroom. We learn about vowels and consonants all while looking closely at our names. This name activity for students is a perfect way to spend a week learning these basic skills before diving into a phonic and word work curriculum. It is also a fun way to get to know our classmates’ names and work on some fun math skills too.

$4.00
