BACK TO SCHOOL HISTORY LESSON | TEACH G.R.A.P.E.S. AND GET TO KNOW YOUR STUDENTS!

Love this. I'd love to know more about what you do for a as a lead-in/mini-lesson and how you'd make it last a whole class period. I feel like my 6th graders would be done in less time than that.

LOVE your resources! Just purchased this one for my DEI classes with middle schoolers. I have terrible teacher/back to school dreams too. lol

My first notebook assignment every year is "A History of Me." I think I may have my students do it digitally this time. Thanks for the inspiration. My son is also a class of 04 grad!

This is such a cute lesson! 💖I love this idea!! Now, if I could find something like this for math...🤣😂

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

Hmmm, a challenge!

[@JustBethTrying]

@teacherof20 How about Me by The Numbers You could ask them questions that have a numerical answer: Age, number of people in their family, birth order, house number, number of houses they have lived in or states they have visited. Then they can either write equations using those numbers-and they ask others to solve the equations using their own numbers (age-birth order + siblings x house number) or they can use rulers and draw a polygon to represent each answer. Then they can color each one. Just a thought-I am a retired k-2 sped teacher , so I don’t know if this will work.

@@JustBethTrying I like that!!

I love this idea 💡 Would you have kids volunteer to share aloud or in groups or just write it down and turn it in? 🤔💕 thank you!

@@jylfearn4840 sharing with groups would be awesome!
