Original Prompt

create a beginning of the year stations activity where students will review the syllabus, create an about me page, and learn about the class and teacher

This resource outlines a series of engaging activities for 8th-grade students to help them get acquainted with their new class and teacher. The activities are divided into three stations: 1) Syllabus Scavenger Hunt, where students explore the syllabus to learn about grading policies, classroom expectations, and important dates; 2) About Me Creation, where students create a personal page sharing their interests, hobbies, and goals for the year; and 3) Meet Your Teacher, where students read an introduction letter, watch a video about the curriculum, and predict their teacher's likes and dislikes. Each station encourages interaction and sharing among students, fostering a welcoming classroom environment.
