In kindergarten, we celebrate the beginning of the school year just like we do at the end of the school year! Here are two fun first day of school photo ideas to show off the bright future of your students. We give each student a photo opp to make the day memorable.
First Day of School Props
It’s a nice and fun way to capture a moment in the year without taking too much time. I like to take the opportunity to snap cute photos during play time of my students, since they can generally be {slightly} independent during this time.
Yeah, they get play time the first two weeks of school… and then… well, then they have to earn it by completing our agenda early. {I know, I’m that teacher}
I made this subway art for this year using the popular chalkboard theme you see everywhere. I’ve included a variety of age ranges {wink} to cover your whole class. You’ll like that it has grades K-6 (preschool and pre-k to be added soon), a chalkboard version that is so in right now and an ink-friendly version too.

Love this!! I would LOVE the overlays in a Pre-K version!! This is perfect for the portfolios we’re required to do (we have a lot of stipulations–they have to include academic, artwork, photos, etc . throughout the year).
PS: I noticed that the monthly overlays don’t really specify the grade, so should I go ahead and purchase the Kindergarten version and just forego the “beginning of school” (my pre-k kids are 4 turning 5 y.o.) and “first day of Kindergarten” overlays or will you be coming out with a Pre-K version that I should just wait for?? (I saw on Facebook you mentioned you were working on other grades, but if Pre-K wasn’t a possibility then I’ll just go ahead and purchase the Kindergarten one!)
Hi Ashlee, Go ahead and purchase the k one since I didn’t plan on making a pre-k version. You’re right the other overlays would totally work! 😉 Thanks so much!
