Introducing the Free First-Day-Of-School Hats!
These free back-to-school hats are perfect for simplifying dismissal time on that hectic first day. Plus, they’ll help you learn your students’ names. Here’s the best partβthey’re editable, which makes them even more handy!
You can type in your class list & have the hats all ready to put together before your kiddos even get to school. Then, your students can work on them as a first day of school activity.
How Do These First-Day-Of-School Hats Work?
Here’s a quick rundown of how to use these hats for a smooth start to the school year:
- You Personalize & Print: Choose the appropriate hat for your grade level (Pre-K, Kindergarten, or First Grade), add the names, and print one hat for each student.
- Students Cut & Color: While your little learners are busy coloring and cutting out their hats, you can take this time to confirm their transportation plans.
- Confirm Transportation & Add Tags: Attach the transportation image (car, bus, walker, after school, etc.) to each hat. This will help you direct your students to the correct locations during dismissal.
Editing Is Easy.
Concerned about editing these hats? Don’t be! It’s a breeze. Just open the file in Adobe Reader (the free version works perfectly). Type in your class list and the forms of transportation you want to use. The hats will automatically populate for each student. Easy peasy!
