What’s Included

First Day Interview Sheets — Preschool through 12th Grade

Give your child a chance to share who they are at the beginning of each school year. These thoughtfully designed interviews capture their personality, interests, goals, and hopes—and make it especially fun to look back at how their answers change over time.

You’ll receive 15 grade-specific interview sheets, from Preschool through 12th Grade.

Each interview includes:

• About Me: Name, age, self-reflection, likes, dislikes, and things they’re good at.
• My Favorites: Color, book, subject, place, food, hobby, and favorite memory
• When I Grow Up: A chance to share what they dream of doing someday
• 3 Words That Describe Me: Three words that capture how they see themselves
• This Year: Two things they want to learn or accomplish during the coming school year

The nature-inspired artwork evolves as the grades progress, creating a beautiful visual record of your child growing from little kid to young adult.

Print the interviews as-is from the included PDF, or use the provided Google Slides links to make your own editable copies and customize them for your family.
