"All about me" quilt

Getting to know your students activities seem to be so frequently repeated that I couldn't help but get excited when I heard about this new idea(or at least new to me idea). Get enough flash cards/note cards for your whole class, one per student. Hole punch the edges, two holes on each side, be sure to hole punch all four edges. Give each student one of these flash card, doesn't matter what size but they should all be the same size. Have them write their name in the middle and then write as many facts as they can fit on the flash card. Feel free to let them decorate them, the more individualized the better. :) Then take string and "sew" them together edge to edge forming a quilt of note cards. It is quite easy to then add new students if you gain any through-out the year.
