Free Back To Basics Checklist for the First Year of School

Year Levels: Foundation/Prep

This free Back to Basics checklist was written by a QLD Teacher with 17 years of experience in Prep and Year 1 classrooms. It is a working document that is continuously being added to. Although it is specific to the author’s experiences and context, we thought we would make it available for download. It is a handy starting point for planning for the explicit setup of rules, routines, expectations and transitions at the beginning of the school year.

Please note: This PDF has been designed for A4 PAPER PRINTING and features AUSTRALIAN / UK SPELLING. This resource is a FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD available in our TPT store.
