How about giving them a manilla folder and have them fill it with things that tell about them, their summer, their interests, etc. Give them a week and then have share day the second week of school. They can put their folders around the room and people can visit them, "share day". Maybe some juice/cookies(fruit) would be nice too!

I always hated those, "What I did this summer..." essays, I still want to know what my kids were up to during their break. Since, I look for different ways to open our year, I am trying to think of a better, relevant and fun activity. Maybe... a faux Facebook ( NOT online) page would be cool...They could include all their highlights, pictures, trips, game scores, what have you. What do you think folks? Any ideas are welcome!
