CREATING BULLETIN BOARDS:

I'm A Star: An activity designed for beginning or intermediate ESL students (but adaptable to others!)

 In this activity, students color in a star glyph according to instructions given by the teacher. The glyphs are posted on a bulletin board (perhaps under the caption "I’m a star!") and the fun begins!

FIRST DAY ACTIVITIES:

Even veteran teachers can use an infusion now and then of
appropriate and fresh ideas for the first day back in the
classroom. Here are some great get-to-know-you and cooperative learning activities to try out with your class.
