What educators are saying

This is the perfect beginning of the year assignment to get to know students. I like to hang onto these throughout the year and then have students complete again at the end of the year. It's fun for them to compare themselves and how they've changed during the 9 months.
This is a fun, back to school activity for my 9th grade students. They were definitely challenged with only using 30 words.
