Back to School, All About Me, Community Building Activities 3rd Grade Bundle

Are you looking for Back to School activities that will assist you in creating a classroom community of learners and leaders while teaching your students to embrace diversity and celebrate the uniqueness in themselves and their peers? 

This 3rd grade bundle includes three Back to School units that are guaranteed to foster new relationships, build self esteem and help you, the teacher, truly get to know your new 3rd graders.

All three are digital and can be assigned in Google Classroom or printable for face to face interaction.

1. All About Me Book in Grade 3

You will simply love this "All About Me Book in Grade 3" book as a terrific back to school activity. Students will be highly engaged as they get to share many details about themselves, as well as reflect on personal and academic goals for the upcoming year. The two pages focusing on: "All About My Culture" allow students to embrace diversity and share their own unique culture.

This book is versatile enough to use with any teaching platform. It is done in Google Slides and can be assigned in Google Classroom. I have also included four options for all 9 slides. See below for choices.
