All About Me

The name would seem to say it all, but we have to start somewhere!

All about me worksheets are a valuable tool for fostering a sense of community in the classroom and gathering information about your students that can help you build a solid teacher-student relationship.

Each worksheet typically includes a series of questions that prompt your students to provide personal information about themselves, their interests, hobbies, family and more.

With that information available, you have valuable insights into your students' minds and backgrounds that can help you tailor instruction to meet their needs throughout the school year.

You can also use these worksheets and questions as the cornerstone of your "getting to know you" activities as you bring new students together to form a classroom community.
