During the first week of school we make "all about me" books and read them at circle time so the children can get to know each other a bit better.
The book includes the following pages:
cover page - child colors person to look like them
my name Is - write and decorate name

You do not need to complete all of the pages of the book especially with younger children. I intentionally left out a page for the child's phone number as well as an address page to protect the child's identity in case the book gets lost. You can grab the book pattern below:
