Affinity Map- Topic: 4 Favorite/Memorable Things You Did on Summer Break
Students were given 4 post it notes, they wrote down their favorite/memorable thing they did over the summer on each post it. Then students were asked to sort them into categories among their table peers. Each time we noticed that majority students did similar activities over the summer break. After they did some noticing of similarities among their table, we all shared our notes onto the board and Viola the image above is the finished product. We all had similar stories and fun times to share. This was a great ice break activity for the students and they enjoyed it as well.
Flexible Seating
Students select their flexible seating spot each week or they can also choose to remain at their desk and work. So far the students LOVE it! They work quietly and remain on task 99% of the time. :)
