It may also contain some personal information about yourself such as family, schools attended, diplomas, etc. Students will bring in pictures and interesting facts about themselves to display on the board. Assigned seating activities may also be used as a quick assessment tool. Activity should be appropriate for grade level. Make two sets of alphabet cards.
Upper case letters on one set and lower case letters on the second set.
Take one set and lay out a card at each seat. As students come through the door on first day, give them one card from the second set. Students must find the matching card and sit at that seat. Other card sets may include pictures of beginning letter sounds, antonyms, synonyms, addition facts, subtraction facts, multiplication, division, etc. Continue to follow the same procedure as above for distributing the cards.
