First day of school: the photo and the classroom

The first day of school has two sides: the photo at home and the classroom waiting at the end of the walk. We make something for both.

Write the sign the night before

Chalk markers give the brightest letters. Fill in the name, grade, teacher and one wish, and leave it by the door with the backpack.

Pin the background paper first, then run the scalloped border around the edge using the glue dots. Each roll covers several boards.

It holds about 200 pencils, but a lighter load drops more smoothly. Use the inside buttons to choose how many come out per press.
