"Me Bags" - First Day of School

The students' "homework" for the first day of school is to fill up a brown paper bag with 5 or 6 things that are important to them.  Over the next several days, they take turns sharing their bags with the class and talking a bit about themselves.  It's a fun, easy way for the class to get to know each other a little better!  Before the first day of school, I print off "Me Bag" poems and staple them to the top of the bags.  Click the photo to download a copy of the poem labels!

I found this poem online years ago, but have NO clue who to give the credit to!  If you know who deserves credit for the original idea, please let me know!  :)

See my earlier Bead Glyph post for another fun, First Day activity!

  2. I just found (and am now following) your blog! We do "me bags" too, but I absolutely love your cute poem to send home...much cuter than the boring note I've used before!

  7. Aw, this was a very nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to produce a superb article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and never manage to get anything done.
