Surfin' Through Second: Open House and A Birthday. I know many of you started back to work this week, but it was my 4th week in and this week we had Open House.

Surfin' Through Second: Open House and A Birthday

I was a bit stressed about it, because I really didn't have much up on my walls and didn't want my parents to come into an empty class. So we buckled down this week and finished all kind of fun projects. We finally finished all of our Surf Buddies!! They came out so cute. I love the way they all have their unique flair. They all got their reward necklaces. And these are what the boys got. I am using them for their behavior clip chart, AR, and other assorted recognition. We did another timeline of what we do in a day. I love this one He has a smiley face all through the day... until he goes home, lol. I personally know this little guy and he has a pretty happy home life in case you were worried;) I had students write clues about themselves so their families could guess which was their paper. I told them to just fill up the page with as many clues as they could think of.

Still okay:) 10 great activities to break the ice with your students. Starting the school year or walking into a new room every day as a substitute can become pretty draining and confronting for both teachers and students.

10 great activities to break the ice with your students

Luckily, there are things you can do to break the ice and make the kids feel a lot more enthused and comfortable about learning. Simply spend 10 to 15 minutes trying a couple of these activities listed below to help break that awkward tension. Thanks to Sharon Atkins of Missouri sending these ideas through to us. These are a few of my favorite things. Pass around a sheet of paper and some pens. Birthday Lineup. Call out any month of the year and have all students born in that month come up to the front of the room. The Snowball Activity. Have students write three things about themselves on a piece of paper. The Observation Game. Line up the students in two lines facing each other.

Icebreakers (also known as Warm-ups, Energizers, Openers, and even Deinhibitizers) are activities that help people feel more comfortable and get to know each other. Listed below are activities submitted and improved by users around the world. Icebreakers are most commonly used during the first stages of team development (e.g., at the introductory class) or preceding a group process (e.g., to start off each team meeting). They can also be helpful whenever group energy is low and people need re-energizing, or when members join the group. Icebreakers work best when they are fun and engaging and they draw out information or qualities of the participants that may not be obvious (e.g. talents, attitudes, or previous experiences).
