The "All About Us" Bulletin Board.


At the beginning of the school year, I construct an "All About Us" display by dividing a large bulletin board with string into as many sections as there are students, plus myself. During the summer, I send letters asking students to bring in hangable objects for the display that will tell their classmates Classmates can refer to either:
  • Classmates.com, a social networking website.
  • Classmates (film), a 2006 Malayalam blockbuster directed by Lal Jose, starring Prithviraj, Jayasurya, Indragith, Sunil, Jagathy, Kavya Madhavan, Balachandra Menon, ...
 something important about them, from family photos to sports ribbons ribbons

in harness horse terminology, reins.
. On the first day of school I talk about the object in my square and encourage my students to do the same. Then, during the first month, we replace objects weekly and spend part of each Friday Friday: see Sabbath; week.
