Monday Doors –
Students Sharing information about Themselves

“Every Monday morning, my students rush in and get ready for the day. They look forward to our Monday Doors activity. They write about personal events that occurred over the weekend and then they have the opportunity to share them if they want.” Grades 1/2 Teacher.

Goal: Learn about classmates and share information

Procedure:

1. When students first enter the classroom on Monday morning have them prepare for Monday Doors by either making their own doors (folding the outer edges of a piece of paper into the center) or get a teacher-made door.

2. Have students write or draw about any event, problem, celebration, etc. that they choose.

3. Ask if anyone would like to share their Monday Doors. Sharing is optional.
