On the first day of school, have the students complete this activity to tell what things they are looking forward to, worried about, scared of, hoping for...etc. They can share with the whole class, a small group, a partner, or just with you. But it's a great way to get to know the people you'll be spending the year with in your classroom.

This first day of school activity can actually be edited to have students complete math problems, talk about specific historical events/people, defend their thinking about ___, or any number of other things. It's 100% editable so that you can use it however best suits you. Enjoy the game and the M & Ms!!

Students can use this foldable as a visual for a book report, designing their own book cover, or in any other way you can imagine.
