Gaining a Little Insight Into Your Students

With the start of the year in full swing, I am trying many things to get to know my students better.  One thing I found so very useful is this simple little Circle Map that I give to the parents on Back to School Night.  I seriously LOVE it, and each year the responses from the parents get better and better.  Come on over to my blog to read about how I incorporate this simple little idea into my room and read about the great insight it gives me about my students.
