Welcome to Homeroom!Tuesday, Sept. 2 School announcements Get-to-know-you games Lockers
Announcements • Homeroom Schedule all this week • Wednesday we will spend the morning reviewing behavior expectations in 6 different areas of the building (Station Rotation) • Thursday we will be reviewing important sections of the Sellwood student handbook • Friday we will have homeroom in the morning, and an assembly at the end of the day to celebrate our first week of school • No Homeroom next week (Sept. 8-12)
Name Switching! • Everyone writes their first and last names on a name tag. • Pair up with someone you do not know well. Partner A tells Partner B as much about themselves as they can in 1 minute, and vice versa. • When time is up, partners switch name tags and find a new partner. This time, they introduce themselves as the person whose name tag they have (their previous partner). • Again, each partner gets 1 minute to talk. • When time is up, switch name tags and find a new partner again. Repeat 2-4 times total, as time allows. • At the end, students use the name tag they are currently holding to introduce that person to the entire group—telling as much information about that person as can be remembered.
Lockers • Today we will practice our locker combinations and find our locker assignments. • 7th and 8th graders are encouraged to help 6th graders open and find their lockers if needed. • When it comes to lockers: • Be Safe • Be Respectful • Be Responsible
Wednesday, September 3 Attendance Station Rotation 9:26-10:26 Station Rotation Reflection
ThursdaySeptember 4 Attendance I Like People Who… activity Go over pages in handbook
I Like People Who… • For this activity, you will need 1 less chair for sitting than you have students. • The object of the game is to find a chair and not be the odd one standing up. The student without a chair says, “My name is ______, and I Like People Who…” and finishes by stating something that’s true about them. • Examples: I like people who have 2 sisters. I like people who cheer for the Vikings. I like people who play soccer. • Everyone in chairs who fits that description must get up and find a new seat. Whoever does not find a new seat is the odd one out and it starts over again. • If students can’t think of anything to say, they may say, “I like everyone!” and everyone must find a new seat.
Friday, September 5 Community Building Activities Practice Sellwood Cheer for 3 PM assembly Reflection
What’s in a Name? • Write your name on one side of a piece of paper. You can draw, outline, or decorate the letters. • One the other side of the paper, write… • Things you like about your name • How you got your name • Any special significance your name has • Any nicknames or info you would like to add about your name • In small groups of 4-5, have students share out what they wrote.
VICTORY Cheer CALL: Sellwood, Sellwood, don’t be shy. Stand and give your Panther cry! RESPONSE: V-I-C-T-O-R-Y! THAT’S OUR SELLWOOD PANTHER CRY!
Reflection • Have students turn to a partner and share out the following reflections: • Did you meet anyone this week you hadn’t met before? Do you enjoy meeting new people? • What’s one new thing you learned this week? • What’s one thing that’s stayed the same since last year? • What was your favorite part of this week?
