Hello everyone!
This week we have all been getting to know each other by using ice breakers and it is going fabulously. It's been great getting to know all of my students so far. To start off my first class, we made worksheets in which the student drew a picture of themselves and included some important facts. These are the worksheets posted on our bulletin board in the hallway right now:
The students also completed another worksheet all about their favourites. They coloured it in and wrote what each of their favourite things listed were. Once they completed the worksheet they were paired up in groups of two with someone they were not in a kindergarten class with the previous year. They held their sheets and conducted a mini interview asking the other person what each of their favourite things were and then switched roles. The interviews went great, many of the students even found to have similar interests!
I love this idea. Getting the students to complete work sheets about their favorites is a great way to start the year off right and get to know everyone!
ReplyDelete'All About Me' is a wonderful theme to help learn about your students.
ReplyDeleteI also love the ideas you have outlined on your blog.
I think the All About Me theme is incredibly valuable for young students, both for everyone to get to know each other and to support the development of empathy and understanding others in students.
