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-day activities, routines, admin, parent notes, assessment, and a sub tab you set up once.
Reuse the assessment cards all year
Slide the letter, number, and sight word cards into sheet protectors. The recording sheets have fall, winter, and spring columns, so baseline week becomes progress monitoring.

- What grades is this pack for?
- This edition is built for kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade classrooms: picture-based icebreakers, primary handwriting lines, and K-2 baseline checks (letter ID, numbers 0-20, and Dolch pre-primer sight words). Grade 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 editions are coming this week.
- 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.
