As summer winds down and the school bells begin to ring, it's time to start thinking about getting the little ones ready for another school year. Whether it's their first day of kindergarten or another year in the classroom, the start of the school year is always a special time.

This colorful and engaging worksheet is a fun way to capture those precious first-day memories.
It includes space for their name and extras like:
When I Grow Up, I Want to Be: Let your grandchild dream big! This section is perfect for showcasing their ambitions.
I Am ___ Years Old: A space for them to add their age

For Fun, I Like to: A section to capture their hobbies and interests.
