Happy New Year, everyone! New Year, New Positive things to look forward to. Between resting and enjoying the holidays, there is always planning for when we get back to school. Read about tips, activities, and books to read when you get back to school, ready for the second half of the school year.
Goals
Get your students ready with these goal setting sheets. They are helpful for students, parents and teachers when you want to keep track of student progress. You can always have a fresh start on setting goals with students. Giving students an opportunity to reflect on their own learning gives them a sense of independence and responsibility. Get your goal setting cards ready as you head back to school from winter break.
Would You Rather Game
New Year, New Team Building Game. Would you rather games are great for breaking the ice. Sometimes students come back from break a little shy. The game can be a whole group or small group activity. Make sure you make room for some of the exercise activities involved. Check out the preview at the TpT store.
Celebrate 100th Day
With the New Year, comes the 100th Day of School. Of course this day of celebration may vary by school. Some celebrate later in February. It all depends on what the first day of school. One fun activity you can do in your classroom is to have a 100th Day Fashion Show. Kids can be creative with the help of their families. They can add 100 buttons, 100, sequins, 100 pennies, 100 stickers, or whatever they can imagine.
