Getting to Know You Bags

Every student remember to do the Thursday night homework and brought in a colorfully decorated "Getting to Know You" bag Friday morning. 
Students were eager to show everyone what prized possessions they had brought in to share with the class. 
Some students used the document camera and projector to display the contents of their bag...
...while others presented to the rest of the class sitting at their feet. 
We did not have time to get through all twenty bags on Friday, which concerned a few of the students. But I promised them everyone would get a turn and we will continue with the presentations on Monday.
I love this project because it gives everyone a chance to share a piece of themselves and we all get to know each other a little bit better. This student brought in his face on an Angry Bird. Cool! Did you know Angry Birds are actually showing up on high school physics exams? What a fun way to learn!
