As I've been planning for the first few weeks of school I have come up with some fun printables to go along with some of the nuts and bolts of our joining together as a community of learners. I wanted to share one with you today! This scavenger hunt is modeled after the amazing work of the Responsive Classroom group. I spent quite a bit of time studying their philosophy and watching it in action while in school (and student teaching) and truly believe in the power of building a foundation for learning. This activity will be one of the ones I do on our first day of school and I can't wait to learn a little bit more about my new students!  It is geared at a middle elementary level (3rd/4th grades), but could easily be adapted to fit a younger or older crowd.  The download is in PDF form so you just need to click on the image or here to save it.  It is a special kind of PDF though, one that can be edited via PhotoShop.  I do ask that if you edit it to suit your classroom, you link back to me as the original creator of the document.  Thanks! :)
