I just found out I will be in a first grade classroom yet again next year for my student teaching. I am very nervous, but super excited for what this adventure holds for me. My first thing on my agenda is an introduction to my students on the first day of school. Now this may seem pretty simple, doesn't everyone secretly like talking about themselves? But for myself I want this to be something my students will remember for the whole year. It is important to my students know that I am so incredibly excited I am to be in their lives. My thoughts on the project include a trifold board or foam board with descriptive words about myself and also include pictures of my family and what is important to me. This would be kept in the classroom for the students to be able to look at and then possibly create an extension for the students that gets them involved by having them choose something that I have talked about and inform me how they are either similar or different. This will allow the students to create a connection to me, allow them to talk about themselves and gain confidence in the class, and also let me learn something about them. I am really looking forward to this upcoming year...just about a month away! I'll make sure to post what I decide to do for my students :)
Until Later,
Amanda
