Description

Want a meaningful extension activity to go along with the book Our School is a Family? This book companion (created by the author, Shannon Olsen) will help build school community, foster reading and writing skills, and is ideal for back to school time, school staff appreciation days, or any time of year!

It’s a “School Family Directory” to familiarize students with the various staff members at your school. It can help students with learning their specific roles. This mini booklet also allows students recognize that play an important role in their school family too.

This particular version is for BEGINNING WRITERS, with options for letter tracing and fill in the blank, rather than writing prompts from the original activity, which can be found here: Our School is a Family Book Companion. This adapted resource may be more well suited for kindergarten, other primary classes, or as differentiation for students who need modified writing supports.

You can get both versions at a discount in the Our School is a Family Activities Bundle.

There are more pages included with this resource than you will actually need. Pick and choose the specific pages you wish to include, based on your own school. Then copy them single or double sided, cut in half, and staple together to create mini booklets.

This download contains:

  • Booklet cover
  • School and Teacher Pages: A page for students to write the name of their school, and a page to write their teacher’s name (with space to illustrate).
  • Our School is a Family Page: A page that could go at the end of the booklet, for students to letter-trace and illustrate.
  • School Staff Pages: There are both female and male versions of all clipart of the school staff members (for students to color). You can select and print which pages you want, based on the genders of the different staff members at your school.
  • Student Page: This page is included in addition to the staff ones, so that students can remember that they are an important part of their school family too.
  • Additional Staff Pages: Your school may also have additional types of staff members that are not already in the booklet. If you’d like to add any extra pages of your own, there are some editable pages for that, with various female and male clipart options.

*All of the School Staff Pages and Student Pages come with 2 different writing options:

  1. Letter tracing
  2. Fill in the blank – These pages can be utilized for students who don’t need the letter tracing, OR to customize with any of your own specific wording. For example, if your school might call a certain staff role something different, you can fill in the blank with your own handwritten lettering for students to trace.
