Looks great... I submitted a back to school post. I am going to hand out a "Getting to Know you" sheet for the students to fill out and take home to parents. Hoping that this will start great communication with the students and the parents. :) Andrea

stole an idea from Nikki, I made a scavenger hunt based on my web page for a first day activity. The kids used the SMART board and the laptop I have checked out from the library and worked together to complete it. It was great I didn't have to stand there every hour and tell them everything we're doing this year they were able to discover it for themselves. Then the second day i gave them a 5 question pop quiz on me, all answers had been on my web page. The kids had a great time and it was a great way for me to find out who the leaders are in each group as well as assess their web knowledge.
