• Getting to know each other
• Make a card!
• Show the name you would like me to use in BIG BLOCK LETTERS
• Include your pronouns
• On the back, include this information:

• This might include pronouns that shift, anxieties that affect you, what your passions are, or nothing at all
• Is there any information you'd like me to know right away?
• This might include IEPs, difficulty at home, questions about the course, or nothing at all

• What I'm looking for is:
• To start the process of getting to know each other
• For me to start learning about the personality of the class
