First Week of School Getting to Know You Activity

First Week of School Getting to Know You Activity
Holiday & Seasonal, Holidays, Back To School, Grade 2, 3, 4, Activities

Let's face it, the first week of school can be really hectic! Having fun activities that keep students engaged are key to a successful start of the year. What's better than doing activities where students tell all about themselves? That's exactly what they'll do with this fun activity . There are two pages that can be put together as a little book, or placed together on large construction paper. Students color the cover page and make it their own. They can add pictures and words that describe them and their favorites. For the writing page, students simply fill in the blanks to finish the sentences correctly. Since this works well for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders, not having a lot to write will make your life easier! After finishing the sentences, students will draw their portrait. I gave an outline for them to begin with because otherwise you'll probably get a lot of very small pictures. These are fun to put up on a bulletin board or out in the hallway by your classroom. I would also keep them all year in a safe place to add to students' portfolios at the end of the year. They really love to look back at what they did during the first week! You'll get a pdf with 2 pages.
