Back To School Activity

,
Are you looking for something new to do with your kids this year?  Are you presenting at a workshop and need an ice breaker activity?  Try this. This is a great getting to know you activity.  Perfect for older students.  After creating this, your students present to their classmates.

A Yard of Me:

My name is Mrs. Parker This fall will be my 14th year teaching. I will teach kindergarten but have previously taught first through third grades.  I have a small family.  My husband of six years and my four year old son.  I don't know what I'd do without my boys. My favorite color is green and I like the number seven. I love my iPad and love to read books.  I may have a book obsession. I love a good cup of coffee and pastry in the morning. My favorite place to visit is Disneyland.  We go as often as we can!  Currently, I love reading books with great illustrations and simple texts; Mo Willems and Jan Thomas are current favorites at bedtime. 

Happy Teaching and Learning!

    I have been doing a similar activity for the past few years called Math About Me. I send the project home with the students and they work on it together. Then my students come back and present it. It makes a wonderful getting to know you display. Thanks for sharing a new way to do it!

    What a great idea! I think I'm going to do one part a day and create a filmstrip. Our classroom theme is Hollywood. Love getting new ideas. Thanks for sharing!
