getting to know you activities

  • Aug. 7th, 2009 at 8:38 AM

for many of us, the beginning of the school year is right around the corner...what are some activities you do during the first week of school that get the children introduced to each other...and also maybe some activities that start getting them to work together as partners or a team?

FYI: i teach first grade.

my parents were right again...

for many years now, my dad has encouraged me to look at salvation army and goodwill for furniture.  he has gotten some amazing deals there.  i can't say that i've had much luck with the furniture, but i have had luck with children's books and games.  at goodwill today, i got 16 children's books for $8.00!!  several of them were chapter books, too!  i also got the game clue jr. for $0.50!  Sometimes you have to check and make sure all the pieces are there, but these are steals...a little bit better than going to the public library and getting books to read because these are books that you can keep!

i took this from myspace, and thought i would post it here too. lol  i like to do these every once in awhile.  hopefully i'll post soon.  overall, my first week of school is going well.  i have gotten sick, and i don't know what i have, so basically i'm resting now.  i couldn't see the doctor until tomorrow.  at least one more day until a 3 day weekend.

YOU GET:

1 question.
1 chance.
1 honest answer.
That's all you get.

You get to ask me 1 question. Any one question, anything, no matter how crazy it is.

No catch. But I challenge you to repost this and see what people ask you

it makes me sad...

drugs
to see friends hurting...over the past couple of weeks, i've talked more with my friend, tara. she's a really cool person. she told me she just broke up with her boyfriend (also a friend of mine) - although she wouldn't go into detail. she did say a major part was he wouldn't talk about certain issues. i'm glad she broke things off because in the end, it's the best for her...maybe this will spark me in a different direction with my choices...

i tried calling ken about an hour ago. no one picked up. i'm still struggling with not saying anything to him, but i'm holding strong for right now!!!

the Romantic
Thanks for taking the test !
you chose BY - your Enneagram type is FOUR.


"I am unique"



Romantics have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.


How to Get Along with Me



  • Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.
  • Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
  • Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
  • Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
  • Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!

What I Like About Being a Four



  • my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level
  • my ability to establish warm connections with people
  • admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
  • my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor
  • being unique and being seen as unique by others
  • having aesthetic sensibilities
  • being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me

What's Hard About Being a Four



  • experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair
  • feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved
  • feeling guilty when I disappoint people
  • feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me
  • expecting too much from myself and life
  • fearing being abandoned
  • obsessing over resentments
  • longing for what I don't have

Fours as Children Often



  • have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original game s
  • are very sensitive
  • feel that they don't fit in
  • believe they are missing something that other people have
  • attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc.
  • become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood
  • feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents' divorce)

Fours as Parents



  • help their children become who they really are
  • support their children's creativity and originality
  • are good at helping their children get in touch with their feelings
  • are sometimes overly critical or overly protective
  • are usually very good with children if not too self-absorbed
