I have had so much fun getting to know my students better through their ‘All About Me’ projects. Two weeks ago, I assigned my students their first homework task to create a project that enables their peers and teacher to learn more about them.
You can grab a free copy of the homework sheet that I gave my students if you would like to try it in your classroom.
I was blown away by the projects that were presented. All so different and unique. They were all proud as punch when presenting their masterpieces. It was a great way for the students to discover common interests, share their talents and strengthen peer relationships. As a teacher, it was the perfect way to get to know every individual on a personal level. It is important for the children to feel special and valued and by taking an interest in the things that mean the most to them really shows them how much you care.
A great way to start the year!
Thanks for sharing these ideas for All About Me. I love how they are all unique rather than everyone having the same look!
