All About Me “I”

This is my favorite back to school activity. It’s inspired by the “Writer’s I” with the same idea in mind, but I use and display it as a getting to know you activity at the beginning of the school year. Have your students fill in the “I” template with nouns about themselves. The noun could follow an adjective or stand by itself. I always model mine first by brainstorming a list of nouns about myself in front of my students. Then I take my favorite words and order them the way I’d like from top to bottom in the “I” template. I hang these in the hallways for Open House. My students and their parents loved reading theirs and each others.

I put together a few templates, black & white and color.
