The first day of school is a great day for you to get to know the students and for them to get to know each other. You also want to introduce them to the class and the items in it as quickly as possible. There are so many printable templates available online to help you get to know your students. Here are a few that I liked the most as I did some searching.
I created two Catholic first day of school worksheets that you can download and print here:
