The first couple of days of school is where you set the routines for the year. Taking the time now to think about some basic things will make your school year go so much smoother.
- When the students enter the classroom, what do they need to do?
- What is your attention signal?
- Behavior management plan
- Restroom usage
- Pencil sharpening
- Cell phone rule
- Passing out materials routine
- Submitting assignments
- Emergency evacuation (fire drill)
These are just a few areas to address the first day of school. As you think about these take the time to write each one out. After you have them all written out print them and put them into your sub-folder for any substitutes you might have during the year. By completing this task you will not only help your students’ year go smoothly, but also your year will be fantastic and any substitutes will know your expectations of the students.
Have a great start of the school year!
