Today is wonderful Wednesday and I am going to share you some resources on the web regarding glyphs.The resource I use year after year is Bioglyphs. Each child completes their bioglyph and doesn't show anyone. They lightly write their name in pencil on the back. I glue the bioglyphs to construction paper and put them up. (I ask all the teachers who work with my students and the administration to complete one also.) Then the fun begins. They try to figure who each glyph belongs to. I leave it up for open house so the parents can try to determine which one is their child's.
Here are the links to some glyph resources:

Do you use glyphs to learn about your students?

I like to use glyphs with my third graders and our kindergarten buddies. Although the kindergarten kiddos may not be reading yet, they are able to tell you exactly what a symbol represents on a glyph.
I use glyphs all throughout the school year and I LOVE them! Mathwire.com has some fun ideas for glyphs.
