All Things CLASS

Such a sweet idea Rachel! I did self portraits the first week of school too but had them use flowers and leaves and other things they found outside. Here's a link to an example of someone else doing this. They come out really sweet. And here's someone who did a similar activity but using loose parts they had already in the classroom.

I really like the self portrait idea Liz Savage, I can see how that would also give you a good idea of their fine motor and art skills

We have a fun back-to-school question for everyone!

• What's your go-to activity for the first week of school to help your students feel welcome and engaged? Share your favorite activities and why they work!

For example, when I was a pre-k teacher, I loved having my class make a self-portrait of themselves and things that they loved. Then, we would go around the room, and they could show their artwork and tell everyone their name and what they loved to do for fun! I would always play fun music while they got creative to allow them to relax a bit. This usually started conversations with other students and helped create a fun atmosphere. 

This is also a great way to talk about educator-child interactions, so let us know what you do below!

Sweet Idea Rachel!! I did self portrait on the second week of school but I had them used their hands with paint and cotton balls. I want them to feel the texture of the cotton and the paint. They love it and we are going to do it again next week for the activity!!!

My very first activity on the first day of school is always going to be a about me worksheet. That way I can get to know my kids a little bit better and see what it is that they like and don't like.

Do you have an example of an about me worksheet for the children to fill out that I could look at?

Yes, I usually do simple things like their name and a couple of of their favorite things. I also like to have them tell me their favorite type of toys to play with to get a better understanding of what areas they would like.
