This resource includes 12 different editable station options for back-to-school to take the monotony out of those first weeks. As the teacher, you can stop talking to your new students for days and days, and your students will pay attention as the week goes on.

Here's what's included:

Twelve different editable full-page PowerPoint slide stations
Twelve different editable 1/2 page PowerPoint slide stations
Ten different editable forms/resources to use at the stations (example from my classroom, but can be edited).
Ten different other forms and resources to use at the stations (many resources taken from my other resources sold in my TpT store.
Twelve different pre-made station numbers
Twelve different editable station numbers

All text in the twelve stations has been left editable so you can adjust it to your classroom needs. Each station takes groups of students 10-20 minutes. I spend the first week of school doing these stations with my seventh and eighth-grade ELA students.
