The first few days are important to building a classroom environment that promotes safety, trust, and learning. I also practice the 3 = 33 idea, we spend the first 3 weeks practicing the the rules and procedures so that we know what we need to do for the next 33 weeks. I encourage all students and parents to read through the Syllabus and the Rules and Procedures documents to ensure they have an understanding of what my class will be like.
During these first few days I like to do fun activities that hopefully help to create this kind of environment and foster an attitude of engagement and excitement for class. Below are the Welcome presentations as well as the activities we do during the first few days.
Our first few days are about getting to know the classroom and getting everyone signed up for the right Google Classroom and reading through the syllabus.
