Getting to know your students
Good morning,
The first days of school do more than kick off the academic year. They set the foundation for relationships. Taking time for activities that help us get to know our students and allow students to get to know each other is so powerful.
These moments of sharing build trust, create a safe and welcoming classroom atmosphere, and remind everyone that learning is not just about content, but about community.
If you already started the school year, what activity did you try to get to know your students better, and to help them get to know each other?
If your first day is still ahead, what’s one activity you’re planning?
Your stories and ideas can inspire us all to start strong!

Hello! I like to use a "Getting to Know You" sheet with my students. The sheet has questions about favorite books and learning preferences. However, the most important question is, "What do you wish Ms. Elmore already knew about you in order to teach you well this year?"
