Description
Set the TONE for the new year with the Back to School Stations for middle school and high school students. This stations resource includes EIGHT Back to School activities to engage your students in meaningful tasks and collaboration on the first day of school. Get students up and moving while they introduce themselves and learn about classroom expectations and policies instead of a boring day of sitting in their desks and listening to the teacher speak the entire period.
This PRINT and DIGITAL Back to School activity will give your students opportunities to share their voice and make their own choices while working independently and in a group setting. Not only will you get to know your students through these tasks, but you will also be able to use their completed projects as purposeful classroom decor to create a positive classroom environment. These Back to School Stations also give you the opportunity to set clear expectations for group work, independent work, and student assignments.
The BEST part about this stations activity is that all the heavy lifting and hard work has already been done! This back to school activity has EVERYTHING you need to implement these stations in your classroom- teacher guide, student directions, station materials, teacher models, and MORE! If you need to make any changes to differentiate or modify these stations to fit the needs of all your students, there is an EDITABLE version included too!

What Other Teachers Are Saying About This Resource:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Catherine W. says, "Students enjoyed working through the stations to learn about each other. We needed a bit more time than the first day. I saved some of their work to return at the end of the year for them to see how much they have changed. Great ideas to expand."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Alicia H. says, "I have been teaching for 17 years and never tried using stations with my middle schoolers. I bought this product and loved the ideas given. I used them for a springboard for other stations needed for my class. Today was our first day of school and the stations were a total game changer! I had the best first day. Kids were engaged and the 90 minute class flew by. Thank you!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Melissa C. says, "A great engaging activity to use during the first week of school. This activity keeps the students engaged so I was able to circulate and have informal discussions with students. Thank you."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Buyer says, "I cannot wait to use this! I love that there are fully completed options that make it low prep and that you have also included editable templates!"
