All About Me Poster- Perfect for the first week of school! TheAppliciousTeacher.com

ย 
These easy to do posters are a Back to School MUST for my beginning of the year routine. I usually send them home as a first week of school homework.
ย 
They are super โ€œat homeโ€ friendlyโ€ฆ as students can basically use ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to decorate them. I also like this routine because I am not worried about sending home special or important things that students have brought in (which sometimes happens with the ย Me boxes)
ย 

Materials Needed for All About Me Posters

To make the posters, all you need is:

  • 12 x 18 tag board (or old file folder)
  • ME printouts (End of this post!)ย 
  • marker
  • scissors
  • -12 x 18 construction paper (color of your choice)

Then, trim them out. Place the two letters side by side to create one continuous โ€œMEโ€.

Trace the two printouts onto the tagboard or file folder. Then cut out the file folder.

This will give you a โ€œMEโ€ tracer. Now youโ€™re ready to trace the โ€œMEโ€ shape onto your choice of construction paper. I like blue, but Iโ€™ve used black in the past and it really makes the decorations POP!

Perfect First Week of School Homework

Now, they are ready to send home! Students can decorate them using magazine clippings, photos, or drawings. They can fill it with things that represent them: Favorite food, movie, hobbiesโ€ฆ

Sharing Our All About Me Posters with the Class

As students bring their posters in, we share them at the end of the day. This is the perfect time to start working on our Speaking and Listening Standards (Thank you Common Core!) After a student shares, we take three questions to help understand the students more. Any more questions and weโ€™d never move on! Seconds are very inquisitive! LOL!
ย 
Finally, I hang them up on the blinds for the first few weeks. I love that it adds a โ€œkids are hereโ€ feel to the room right from the first week of school.
