Get to know your students with Wixie About Me projects!
Nothing is more important than building relationships with your students at the beginning of the year. Use these ideas and samples for All About Me projects and other getting started ideas.
Students can use Wixie to combine text, images, and voice narration to share information about themselves and build essential skills for future digital project work.
About Me Templates
Wixie includes a library of All About Me templates you can use to get to know your students and help them get to know each other.
Lesson plans for getting to know students
"What I Did This Summer" Postcards
Students create a postcard to share information about an important event or experience from their summer vacation.
All About Me Trading Cards
Students create, print, and share a trading card they have created to introduce themselves to their teacher and classmates.
Mind Mapping - Character Traits
Have students create a simple mind map to share information about themselves and build skills for future character trait projects. This sample has a twist, where all descriptors begin with the same letter as the student's name.
Fact vs. Opinion Table Tent
Start the year off right by having students share information about themselves that is both factual and opinion! This project can jump start a lot of powerful conversations!
Connect to Literature
After reading Merle Peek's Mary Wore Her Red Dress, students adapted the verse to tell their classmates about themselves.
Give students choice
Use this choice board to put students in charge of how they will demonstrate their learning.

Reading, Writing & Recording
I got to spend the morning with our first graders in @CubRunCousino, @MrsJMJensen, and @CubRunVodi�s classes learning to use Wixie! Each student made an �about me� page and learned how to record themselves reading what they wrote! #learningisfunatcubrun #CubRunCubbies #FCPSOn pic.twitter.com/7Hq1HNzrrE
