Hooray for me!

I have created and uploaded my first (non free) TPT item.  I am so excited.  It ended up being way smoother than I had anticipated.  I still have some questions, but this was a big accomplishment!  Now I am just hoping for a little success! :)

The unit is called "A Field Trip to Second Grade!"  I know my first graders get super nervous about the transition and I thought this was a cute idea to ease those jitters.  I arranged the "field trip" with a second grade teacher for next week.  I can't wait to try out my own creation!


Here's what's included:

First, the children will complete the worksheet titled “How I Feel about Second Grade”.  You will be able to use this sheet to compare their answers AFTER the field trip.

There are two options for “My Second Grade Questions”.  The first sheet allows the students to make up their own questions for the second graders.  The second sheet already has questions and a spot for the second graders’ answers.  There is also a page titled “Notes from My Interview” that can be used for the students to write down anything they want to remember.

Once the field trip is done, the children will complete the worksheet “After Field Trip Thoughts”.  The children can use the first sheet and this sheet to explore how their feelings have changed.

As a thank you to the second graders, the last page has bookmarks as an optional idea.
