40 pages of EDITABLE first day documents! Are you ever wondering what you should cover on the first day of school and how to make it all flow together? I remember my first year feeling overwhelmed when I realized I had to cover everything from walking in the classroom to sharpening pencils, to drink procedures, to recess policies...YIKES! I have tweaked this document every year until, finally, my 8th year teaching, it's ready to share (I'm sure more tweaks will come, but I'll send you an updated copy when/if this happens :) Remember that this is what I do and ideas for you. Of course, your schedule will look a little different than mine, and you may have additional things you'd like to cover on the first day. This is why I've made it EDITABLE for you to use however you choose! The first day lesson plan flows smoothly from introductions to getting to know you games to rules and procedures. All worksheets are printable for you to make copies for your students. Included: *My 1st day detailed lesson plans (A copy of my first day plans that actually work and cover every policy and procedure I need to go over with students.) *Getting to Know You worksheet for bell work on first day *Story to remind students of kindness and values *Value contract that the students complete and sign *Space for students to set goals for the year *Icebreaker activities to use to get the kids feeling confident and friendly *1st day Note packet for students to complete throughout the first day as you go over each policy, procedure, rule, consequence, etc. *Even ideas for the 2nd day of school to tie everything together. *BINGO get to know you game *People Search Activity worksheet for the game *Links to all the YouTube videos I use to teach my first day lessons *Parent Contact form *Fun Rules Quiz for the first day (see if they were listening :) *Classroom Library Cards + my checkout procedures *Open House Note *Disclosure Document *Student Behavior Plan *Class Rules *Back to School Night Information *Parent Volunteer Form *Student Questionnaire for Parents to Complete about child *Late work contract *B.E.E.P. tickets (my restroom passes and management plan for this) ENJOY and HAPPY FIRST DAYS OF SCHOOL!
