We Are Teachers
Pre-K and Elementary School
Young learners draw a picture of themselves and add their favorite things to show who they are—like a soccer ball or music notes. For kindergarten and up, students can label the items. Using a graphic worksheet, they then write their name and draw or write their favorite activities or talents. This activity can be completed through drawing or writing, making it accessible and fun for every student—and helping new teachers connect with each child right from the start!
