Getting to Know My "Sweeties"

In Social Studies we have learned so much about each other. My students were given the opportunity to inform myself and their peers a little more about themselves, other than what is observed on a daily basis. They decorated boxes and stored 5 special items in their boxes and shared with the class why those items were special to them. My students really utilized their creativity skills and did a very nice job at sharing why each item in their boxes was special. Throughout the presentations, I was truly able to learn many personal memories and a distinctive uniqueness about all of my students. It was a fun project that diminished some fear of public speaking, taught us to respect each others differences, and ended with many "sweet' applauses.
