My teaching partner and I decided we wanted to get to know the students and allow the students to get to know us. We brought in a few items that meant something special to us in our lives. Some of these items were photos of our pets, family, medals, work tags, and University acceptances. The students were amazed with the items we brought in, which lead to endless questions and curiosities. It was a great opportunity to connect with the students. Following our discussion, the students got to fill out a paper with information about themselves! After this, they took a few of their most favorite facts about themselves and wrote it on a community graffiti wall we created. We hung it above their lockers!
