Tips for First Day

I am so excited for the first day of school to begin! We start off with a 1/2 day of school tomorrow. I'm doing my best to remember how everything needs to be explained to the K kids in the beginning of the year. And it's important to give these gentle lessons in between some movement. We can only sit and listen for so long! So we'll tour the school, practice getting in line, shake our sillies out, go to the bathroom as a class (we don't have one in the room), etc. And I always plan too much because it's better to be over-prepared than under! Then before I know it, the half day is over!
I want to make sure that the rules and consequences are laid out and that the students know that their classroom is a happy, safe place where learning is fun.

They will receive the certificate below to color:
