First of all, it has been a week and a half since I posted on my blog!
I have been out of town and blissfully ignoring all the things that I need to do for school!
However, I have started to dip my toes back in the water by surfing the internet for ideas for the first few days back, and I have stumbled upon an idea I love: Time Capsules! I saw this idea on ProTeacher, but I can't remember the exact person the idea came from. This is not an original idea, but I did make my pages myself!
The idea is that on the first days of school, the students make their own personal time capsule. In my class it is going to include a self portrait, a list of their favorites, a handwriting sample, and their hand print. I also might take a picture of them at open house or the first day of school and include it in the time capsule. We will roll up the pages and tie them together with twine that the length of their height. Then we will put the papers in a paper towel tube that they have decorated and close the paper towel tubes with cupcake holders and rubber bands. I am going to put these in a sterilite container and store them in a closet. At the end of the school year, we will fill out the sheets again for fun. Then we will pull out our time capsules and see how much we have changed over the school year! I also think this will be something that the parents love and it will be easy to get together at the end of the school year! I am going to upload the pages that I am going to use with my class!
After we do it, I will upload the process!

I was going to upload my pages I made but I can't figure out how! I am going to do some google searching and I will update this post!
Any suggestions?
