First Day

Wow- I can't believe the first day is finally here.  All of that "getting ready stuff" pays off in the end... resulting in a fabulous first day. The "getting ready stuff" like getting folders ready, bulletin boards, printing labels, updating the class handbook, cleaning, reviewing long range plans, writing lessons plans...and the list could go on and on and on. But, when you have a successful day and successful students it is all worth it in the end.

Love this idea for the first week...

Who Am I? Riddle Book
Have children share facts about themselves by creating a Who Am I? riddle book. Students write four or five statements about themselves. The last line is a question: "Who Am I?" I put this up as a bulletin board and have students guess who each person is. The first person to guess correctly gets to choose who guesses next.
