Subject: [teacherartexchange] Fun first week of school ideas
> Hello all,
>
> Each year I like to do a studio activity with students on the first day
> instead of going over rules and regulations like every other teacher in
> the
> building (I teach 7th and 8th grade). I try to find something that helps
> me
> to get to know each student better- through the actual assignment and also
> because I am able to interact with students while they are working on the
> project. Here's an example of something I've done in the past . . .
> http://frecklephoto.com/2006/09/01/fun-flip-flops/ Each student creates
> tagboard flip flop with a personal collage- more details on my blog.
> These
> only take a couple of days and are always a hit at open house.
>
> I'm wondering if any of you have other first week activity ideas to share.
> I'm looking for something new once again.
>
> Thanks in advance!
