Lets talk orientation night!!
Being the leader (or control freak) I am I think our orientation night could use some improvements. Does anyone do something that is really cool, meaningful, worthy to inspire? Speak now or forever hold your peace. The 7th graders follow a short schedule after an introduction session. Each class comes in for a whooping 15-20 minutes. I have perfect classroom on the brain so the wheels are spinning... Help. Things I'm thinking...
-Discover science centers/stations
-Observe (the room) and predict yr
--Guess that picture on smart board
--Biggest fear, solution read aloud
--Free write... in 1000 words or
less tell me about yourself!
Thanks in advance!!
I love the idea of your science centers/stations along with the guess that picture on the Smart Board...(the smart board could be one of your stations)...
ReplyDeleteYou could even have the observe & predict the year as one of the stations...
As a mom, I would like to see my child engaged in science activities and see them get excited about their learning environment.
Just my thoughts.
I just read your post. Too late for suggestions. Hope it went well. Sounds like you had a great list of activities. Our school just had one and it was mostly a meet and greet. Seemed like mostly middle school students that showed up in the 7th-12th grade. Good luck this week!
