CREDIT: Allie Apels @joysofkinder and Rebecca Bathurst-Hunt @inquiryteacher for their amazing Identity Workbook. This workbook was offered free to me (and anyone else via their TWITTER) and I adapted for my purposes. CREDIT: Crayola "Colours of the World" Video : via Safeshare.tv This is going to be a "year long" exploration of Identity that ties into CREDIT: @georgecouros Identity Day from "The Innovators' Mindset" Activities will be numbered as created. This year long "journal" will explore not only identity but elements of writing, reading response, health, art, and wellness. I have chosen to create a Folder in my Seesaw called "Identity Journal" so all of these activities will be in one spot. Perhaps at the end of the school year it can be printed as a keepsake for families! Enjoy!
