About this worksheet
A full-page pennant flag to color, cut out and hang: All About Me in rainbow letters, a name line, a circle for a self-portrait, I like and I am good at lines that get shorter as the pennant narrows, and a star at the point for the grade. Each child makes one; fold the top strip over a string and the whole class becomes a back-to-school banner. Second graders write full sentences on it, which makes it a good first-week writing sample.
Tips for using it
- Model it first: fill in a copy about yourself on the board or under the document camera, then hand out the sheets.
- For pre-K and kindergarten, read each prompt aloud and let children answer with a drawing; write their words under the drawing for them if they ask.
- Date every page and file it. A September page next to a June page shows growth in drawing and handwriting better than any report card.
- Print the pennant and the poster on card stock so they survive a few weeks on the wall.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
