First Day!

We had a fantastic first day!  To start the day off I had the students 'Figure Me Out'.  Before students arrived I created a chart telling a little bit about myself...for instance...how many children I have, how long I have been a teacher, how many states I have lived in etc. BUT,  the answers were covered up with a math equation.   So. students worked in small groups, solved the math equation and then had to decide which question their answer, answered!  Sound confusing?  Really it wasn't!  The students loved it and I was able to see how well they worked in small groups and how well they could solve math equations, all on the first day!
