Ideas for the first week of class

Starting a new semester is not an easy task. I've been looking for ideas and I'd like to share with you some of the best projects ideas I found on Pinterest. I hope you like it!

This is a getting-to-know-you project! 

In advance, teacher cuts the students' profiles.

Students are to cut from a magazine or draw things they like and paste on their profiles. Then, in pairs or in groups, the class try to find out what the pictures are about. I think it is a really nice activity for the first day of class!

Another very nice project I found on Pinterest was "We were looking back on summer, this is what we see". Take a look...

This is a variation of the same project...

Students are to draw what they did during vacation. Then, the class can have a very nice conversation about it. Did you like it?

Another very cute idea...

Students draw things  they did during vacation again... But now, using colored chalk on a black sheet of paper... How about this?

Let's welcome students? This is what I found to make it possible...

Some ideas to start a very nice semester!
