A Beginning of the Year
Activity
Here is a great activity
to use on the
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
Start planning this now
and you’ll be that much ahead of the game!
This activity will get even your shy
sweethearts up and talking. What else do
they know more to talk about than themselves?
I print these notes and
attach one to a paper bag. I assign each
student a folder, with this bag and all those beginning-of-the-year papers inside,
and put them out on the student desks.
We have a “Meet and Greet” night, just before the start of school, and the
folders go home with all students and parents that attend. They return on the
first day with the My "Me Bag" ready
to share.
The folders that are left
provide a quick glance to see who was not able to attend. Send those home on the first day, and
students can bring their bags the second or third day. I stretch this activity out for at least
three days. Whenever we need a change in
the typical “rules / procedures discussion”, I call on someone to share, and
they love it.

I found you through Classroom Freebies Manic Monday post. I did a Me Bag one year and I turned it into a writing project. It gave the students something to write about.
