Built as a workflow, not a pile of clip art
Print once, before Monday
One PDF, US Letter, black-and-white interior built for school copiers. Print the whole pack or just the sections you need — color is only on the cover and dividers.
Drop it in a binder
Eight tab dividers split the pack into grab-and-go sections: labels, first-week activities, class community, admin, parent notes, baselines, and a sub tab you set up once.
Start the year with a baseline
Multiplication fact checks, a writing sample page, and a reading attitude survey show you where every student is starting — with a class snapshot grid to see the whole roster.
Peek inside

Questions teachers ask
- Is the First Week Pack really free?
- Yes. Enter your email and the full 59-page PDF downloads immediately — no account, no checkout. We'll also send you occasional free teaching resources, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
- What grades is this pack for?
- This edition is built for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classrooms: written icebreakers instead of drawing pages, cursive name work, a class contract your students build together, and grade-appropriate baselines (multiplication facts, writing sample, reading attitude survey). A K-2 edition is live now, and 6-8 and 9-12 editions are coming.
- Is it printer-friendly?
- The interior is black and white with a single blue accent, designed for school copiers. Only the cover and the eight section dividers use full color, and you can skip printing those.
- What baseline assessments are included?
- Quick first-week checks that show where your class is starting: two multiplication fact checks with a recording sheet, an addition and subtraction check, a first-week writing sample page, a reading attitude survey, and a class snapshot grid to see the whole roster at a glance.
- Can I customize the pages with my class names?
- The PDF pages are fill-in-by-hand, and the editable items have free live generators: bingo boards, seating charts, and attendance sheets with your exact roster.
- How can I use this pack in my school?
- Print as many copies as you need for your own classroom, including for aides, volunteers, and substitute teachers. Please share the download page with colleagues rather than the file itself.
