Good Evening,

This is a cool way for students to get to know one another! Check out this resource!

Product DescriptionThis resource is a great icebreaker for welcoming each child back to school and it will also help to establish a community of learners in your classroom. Students will enjoy decorating these t-shirts with unique personality characteristics about them, illustrate, color, and then attach them to a clothesline already hung in the classroom. Get some really colorful clothespins to attach them to the cord serving as the clothesline! There are three different types of reproducible t-shirts included for the students to have a choice. One of the t-shirt patterns has established lines for those students who choose to write about themselves instead of draw, color, and illustrate important things about them! Kids will have a blast!
