Modeling for the class, write a paragraph telling about yourself.&nbsp; As you write, point out the main idea or introduction and then write three detail sentences about yourself.&nbsp; End with a conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Here is our example paragraph:<\/p>\n<p>I am a fifth grade teacher at Cactus Elementary.&nbsp; I went to college at Purdue University and have been teaching for 8 years.&nbsp; I am married and have a son and daughter.&nbsp; I love books and read all of the Harry Potter books over the summer.&nbsp; I am excited about a great year!<\/p>\n<p>You will need to remind students not to use their name in their paragraph.&nbsp; When finished, we like the idea of hanging the paragraphs on a bulletin board.&nbsp; Take each student&rsquo;s picture and print them.&nbsp; Put a folder with the pictures by the paragraphs.&nbsp; As a morning activity, have students match the pictures with each student.&nbsp; This is also a great diplay for your open house.&nbsp; Keep the writing sample to add to your student portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>We have created a writing page for your students to use:&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner456.com\/wp-content\/pdf\/backtoschool\/whoami.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Who Am I?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review paragraph writing and give your students the opportunity to learn about their classmates with this back-to-school activity.&nbsp;
