Hi Ya'll!!!
I'm Mor from
I'm so excited to guest post and be here with you & Farley today!
I KNOW Summer just started but my head is already spinning with ideas & I'm worried for that first week Back to School & Open House.
After spending 3 years in Middle School and not doing anything worth mentioning
for the above events, I'm sort of freaking out about it this coming year.
I'm back to the elementary classroom & will be teaching 5th grade.
I am psyched but a little scared :) I forgot how to be all nice & cutesy....
I wanted to do a fun first day activity with the kids, but I'm not one for arts & crafts that make a mess.
soooooo.... I decided to go for beads!
Upper elementary kids are all about friendships & socialization!!!
I thought I could give them the option to create either a necklace, a friendship bracelet, or a key chain, and they create a glyph using those beads.
Once they finish creating their necklace they can walk around the room with their surveys and get to know their friends better.
Here are the Glyphs I created & I'm giving it to you as a FREEBIE :)
Students will share about their siblings, favorite sports,pets, subjects, and books they've read!
It's a great conversation starter & students will complete surveys to help them get started.
I found these beads at Oriental Trading.
{click on each image to go to the direct link}
$6.25 / 500 Pieces $6.25/ 300 Pieces $8.75 / 2000 pieces
but you could really use any beads you find at the store.
What are some activities you do with your kids?!?
I'd love to hear some of your ideas!
Have a great summer!!!
