This back-to-school crossword uses clues about the things and people kids meet in the first week: "It gives a pencil a new point", "The leader of a school", "Break time to play outside", "A chart of the days, weeks and months". Each puzzle picks 12 of 30 words, with a word bank to help.
It's a low-stakes first assignment that shows you a lot: who reads the clues carefully, who counts the boxes and who spells well. Homeschool families can use it on day one, too. The words fit a kitchen table school as well as a classroom.
