Engaging Stations Professional Development (Canva Copy Link)

As educators, we shifted away from incorporating hands-on resources in the classroom during the onset of COVID-19. Utilizing hands-on materials provides students with a tactile and experiential approach, offering a tangible way for learners to connect with abstract concepts and enhance understanding. Through hands-on engagement, such as manipulating objects or participating in interactive activities, students can more readily comprehend intricate ideas and improve information retention. It's now opportune to revisit and rediscover the hands-on resources available for classroom use or those that may have been overlooked.

Are you looking for an engaging and meaningful way to kick off the school year with your students? The Just Like Me Back-to-School Morning Meeting Slides offer the perfect blend of fun and connection-building to help students start their day on a positive note. This activity fosters social and academic growth by allowing students to find common ground with their peers in a relaxed, interactive setting.

How the Just Like Me Activity Works: In this morning meeting activity, you display a slide with a question like, “Who has brown eyes like me?” Students who share that trait will stand up, look around, and see who else in the room is “just like them.” This simple yet powerful activity helps students build connections based on shared traits and experiences, promoting inclusion and a sense of belonging from the very first day.

Multiple Uses for the Just Like Me Activity:

• Morning Meeting Routine: Incorporate this activity into your daily or weekly morning meetings to create a consistent opportunity for students to connect and learn more about each other.
• Back-to-School Icebreaker: Use Just Like Me as a fun and interactive icebreaker activity to help students get to know one another at the start of the school year.
• Ongoing Community Building: The activity can be revisited throughout the year to continue fostering relationships, especially when new students join the class or during times of transition.

Editable and Diverse Content: The Just Like Me Game includes over 20 editable slides featuring diverse and inclusive questions designed to engage all students. You can easily modify the questions to suit your classroom or add more slides if you want to extend the activity over multiple days. This flexibility allows you to tailor the activity to fit your students' unique interests and backgrounds, making the experience even more impactful.
Why It Works: The Just Like Me Activity is more than just a fun game—it creates an opportunity for students to identify shared experiences and build empathy. By discovering how much they have in common with their classmates, students develop stronger relationships, which leads to a more cohesive and supportive classroom environment. This sense of connection translates into greater participation and cooperation, setting the stage for a successful school year.
Benefits of Morning Meetings: As noted by the Responsive Classroom and Centervention, morning meetings are a powerful tool for setting the tone in your classroom. They help students transition from home to school, create a sense of community, and improve both social and academic outcomes. Morning meetings give students a chance to feel heard and seen, allowing them to feel more comfortable engaging with their peers and with the day’s learning activities.

What’s Included:

• 20+ Editable Slides: You can customize the questions to match your classroom’s diversity and extend the activity throughout the school year.
• Diverse and Inclusive Prompts: The questions are designed to reflect a wide range of traits, preferences, and experiences, ensuring that every student has a chance to participate and feel connected.
• Flexible Format: The slides can be used digitally on a smartboard or printed out, allowing for a range of presentation styles to suit your classroom setup.

Sample Questions:

• "Who has brown eyes like me?"
• "Who loves pizza like me?"
• "Who enjoys playing outside like me?"

Fostering Connection and Conversation: The Just Like Me activity not only helps students find commonalities but also sparks meaningful conversations. After each question, consider taking a moment to ask follow-up questions that encourage students to share more about themselves. This deepens the discussions and allows for richer classroom interactions, promoting a stronger classroom community over time.
Get your classroom off to a great start with the Just Like Me Morning Meeting Slides, and watch your students grow both socially and academically!

This creative Art Room Gaming Badges Activity was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. *NOTE: this is a yearly event; it will take most of a full school year for any student to complete all 30 gaming badges…and that’s a good thing! *Students may try for any badge, in any order, however, students will want to start working on gaining easy gaming badges first, before trying to get the harder ones done. *Once students accomplish the criteria for a certain badge, either the teacher or the student may take colored pencils (only) to color the accomplished badge, so it looks similar to the completed version. *Move on to completing another great gaming badge. Good Luck! I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.
