This is a simple and engaging way of helping your students get to know each other. The students will be given 10 strips with their names on it, which they will cut out. They will walk around the room and look at the posters, and if they identify with that poster, they will tape one of their name strips underneath. At the end of the activity, the students will walk back around the room, and survey the number of names underneath each poster to complete a graph. The idea behind this activity is not only getting to know more about each other and to see what one student might have in common with another, but also to break any pre-conceived ideas about others in the class. We as people are quick to judge a book by its cover, and this activity allows students to see each other differently. This packet includes: Cover page Explanation page 10 posters of "I like..." statements and photos Graphing page. Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!

I found that the best way for students to learn their sight words was to have them wear the sight word that they are working on. I tried stickers with the words, or stamps on their hands, so that the word was always close by if they needed to refer to it during class. But stamps wash away and stickers lose their stick, so I came up with bracelets. Mine are colored for each different sight word that the students are working on. It helps differentiate if they are working on more than one sight word at a time. This 1st set includes the first 10 Fry Words: a, my, the, I, like, we, go, on, to, you Each page includes 8 colored or black and white bracelets for each of the 10 sight words. Simply print, cut, and tape around your student's wrists, so they can easily wear what they are learning!
