A reusable K–2 printable — print-first by design for early learners. Same template every week, so students learn the routine once.
4 quick polls, a story-of-the-week vote, and a 3-question quiz. Students give just a first name and last initial, which only their teacher sees. Answers count toward your class on the grade-band leaderboard. Open until November 8.
