Blast off into the first week of school with this space-themed all about me foldable activity, designed to help you get to know your students. This printable resource is a fun alternative to a standard all about me worksheet. It is suitable for classroom use as part of your back-to-school activities, or send home as a transition activity over the summer break. In this set, each foldout displays a different letter so that students can complete one that matches their first initial. The inner section has meaningful questions on an outer space theme. The prompts Captain...... (children insert their name here) Age Things I love to the moon and back I'm a star at.... (for children to tell you what they are good at) My mission is to get better at... (for children to let you know areas that they might need extra help and support). Low prep! Print the pages you need on letter-sized paper (landscape). Students color the space scene, fill in their answers with words and pictures, then cut out and fold. No glue or tape required! Once folded, it can be closed to show the space scene and the first letter of their name, then opened to display their 'about me' answers inside. The questions and clipart cannot be changed/edited. A picture showing how to fold is included. US and UK paper size/spelling included. There are 26 pages black and white pages - one for each letter of the alphabet. What educators are saying: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'This went great to kick off my Outer Space unit on the first day of school. They really enjoyed the activity and they each presented the information about themselves to the class'. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'This was a perfect first day of school activity. It was also a good way to kick off our science for the year since we study the solar system. The kids loved it! Thank you for sharing.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐'This was a fun addition to our classroom theme this year! The students enjoyed the space theme activity to share about themselves. The folding to have their initial on the front is so cute!'
