Getting to know your students on a personal level is the first step in establishing a positive relationship with them. The 'Character (All About Me)' and the 'Numbers About Me' bags were shared on Day 2 as possible ways to begin to accomplish this goal.
Character (All About Me) Bag
Introduce yourself using a Character Bag. Put in a few items ( limit to 5 or 6) that represent you as a person (a favourite book, a picture of your family and/or pets, favourite food, favourite sport, etc.). Explain the significance of each item as you take them out of the bag.
Give each student a bag to take home and fill with items that represent them. Provide time for several students to share their bag contents each day.
Numbers About Me Bag
Write numbers that are meaningful to you (house number, number of pets/children, month of birth, day of birth, favourite number, etc.) on slips of paper and put them in a paper bag. Explain the significance of each number as you draw them out of the bag.
Have students make a Numbers About Me bag to share with the class.
Note: In both cases it is a good idea to write a note to parents explaining the purpose of the task along with the directions.
