All About Me: A Selfie First Week of School Activity for Back to School

This pair of back-to-school activities is perfect for getting to know you lesson plans during the first week of school and can be incorporated into your beginning of year reading lesson plans with any back to school read-aloud as a way to foster classroom community.

Depending on which of the two included options you select, students either write a paragraph about what makes them special or illustrate several apps/icons to teach their classmates more about themselves. The writing option offers a great opportunity to gain insight into your students' current writing skills, and the visual option can be used as a fun game as you introduce centers or stations.

Great for back-to-school bulletin board displays during the first week of school or as a conversation piece for Meet the Teacher night, you'll love how easy it is to meet the needs of all students and build your classroom community with this fun Class Rollcall All About Me Activity.

✔ 2 Step-by-step lesson plans for easy implementation

✔ 2 versions of the All About Me task for differentiation (incl. full-page & 1/2 page)
