This was a wonderful "Get to Know You" activity that provided higher order thinking skills. In their feet, students had to provide symbols of things that happened over the summer & describe a few events of their choosing. This was way more meaningful than some verbal games I did in the past, and I believe it set the bar that in my classroom... We will work EVERYDAY! :) Also, I did enjoy reading about their summer and if I had questions they verbally told me more in detail.
8th Grade Learning Stations, Surveys & Group Expectations.
On Monday, all of my 8th graders participated in learning stations. Each station was equipped to provide me with more information about my students such as...
1. What they considered to be an ideal classroom, teacher, student, and school setting. (Writing prompt)
2. "Would You Rather Questions" (interests)
3. Goal setting bubbles (this year & 10 years from now)
4. Novel Interests (picking novels they would be interested in reading as a class)
5. Quiz your classmates - finding out similar interests, get to know you
6. Classroom Scavenger Hunt - A-Z
We rotated stations every 10 or so minutes! The feedback I recieved was great!!
7th Graders - "Scoot"
