It’s almost back to school time, which means it’s nearly time to review classroom citizenship skills with your students. We designed our citizenship video lessons and printable activities to help make the transition into kindergarten easy for teachers and fun for students. These resources are also great for reviewing citizenship skills with 1st and 2nd-graders.

Anchor Charts
These anchor charts are great for back to school and the rest of the school year. They provide students with a visual reminder of each classroom citizenship topic. Simply print and cut pages in half. We recommend introducing each chart piece as you place it onto your anchor chart.
Song Sets
Each classroom citizenship episode features an original song. As you may know, utilizing music in classrooms positively affects learning and enhances student engagement. Our printable song lyrics include a full color page that can be enlarged and used as a poster in your classroom, a student blackline page and the song as a printable book. The printable books are perfect for adding to your students book boxes, or for sending home as additional fluency practice!
Printable Books
Reinforce each classroom citizenship concept and build reading fluency with emergent texts. Simply print double- sided, cut in half and staple. These can be referred back to throughout the entire school year.
Additional Activities
Each additional activity provides students with opportunities for practicing cross-curricular skills such as counting and fine motor development. Be sure to sign-up for a 30-day free trial or purchase a subscription to access all of these resources.
