First and Final Day of School Interviews

By

Commemorate the milestones of each year by having children sit down at the beginning and end of the school year to fill out fun interview questionnaires. These first and final day of school interviews can be tucked away in a special place to be cherished once precious school days have come and gone. Today, I’m sharing the complete set of free printables to help you get started!

First and Final Day of School Interviews for Kids by Positively Splendid

 

I initially began this project in the fall with a set of printable interviews for the first day of school. With the end of the school year upon us, though, it dawned on me that it would be really fun to create a second coordinating set of printables for the final day of school, too, to show just how much children grow and change in the span of a year.

The idea behind each set of printables is simple: Have children sit down on the first and final days of each school year to answer a number of questions about their likes, dislikes, friends and more. Included in the questionnaires is a place to document a child’s growth, as well as a place to include a photo for posterity. It would also be fun to include a self-portrait drawn by the child for each questionnaire!

By printing off each questionnaire and placing them into a nice notebook, this collection of printables would make a great gift for any parent of school-aged children.

I love comparing these photos of my Charlotte. The first photo is of her filling out her interview at the beginning of her kindergarten year…

…and this is her today. She has grown up in so many ways, and I am so happy to have this memento to recall these days once these precious years have come and gone!

    just want to thank you for these fun printables! I just printed them all off for my 3 kids so now I am ready to go when the next 2 start school! Thanks again! -Becca

    Thank you SO much for these printables. We did them at the start of the school year this year and I’m thrilled to now be able to do the final day of the year too! This is so appreciated- thank you!!
    Also, wanted to mention- we printed the preschool final day and it looks like there is a typo on the second page where the photo goes (it says ‘first’ day of school vs. final day) Any chance this could be adjusted? If not, I’ll just cross it off and write it in.
    Thanks again!

    Thank you! I used the kindergarten last year and just printed first grade 🙂 These go in my scrapbook and are wonderful additions. Great idea!

    Hi I was just wondering if you by chance have a download of all them in one PDF or something? I’m just asking because I want to do this for both my kids but it’s taking forever to open each link, then the attachment, print set up, yada yada. On a side note, thank you so much I LOVE this idea!

    This is such a cool idea! I used your printables as an inspiration for making my own version. Thank you so much for sharing this. We just did the interview tonight, and I’m so so so glad we did this! Big smiles from this mama. 🙂

    Thanks so much for these. I have zero “crafty / creative” talent so I really appreciate leaning on those that do!

    Thank you..I just printed some out for my grandsons.
    My daughters did something similar in grade 2..and they are in their late 30’s now..moms themselves and I still like reading them:)

  19. Melanie says

    These are awesome! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

    I have done something similar on my childrens’ birthdays: their height & weight, a picture, some of their ‘favorites’ and also a handprint. As well as some of the things they have learned to do in the past year.

    I like the idea of doing this at the beginning of the school year!
