![]() I finally came across this game the night before school started. In hindsight, I stressed out over it way too much. I wanted to find the perfect thing to do and I didn't really know what kids would like or whether they would think whatever I came up with was lame or boring. I remember stressing out SO much over the first day that first year. Now I don't think that this is necessarily the "right" thing to do, but it is something that stuck with me. During my new teacher training we learned that we shouldn't start with rules and stuff on the first day. I have used the same exact first day activity every year so far. Some people jump right in and start doing math, some do icebreakers, some opt for other games, and some start right away with class expectations. I think that a teacher's first day activities can be quite reflective of what they value and can give a very good idea of what the year will be like. The first day definitely sets a tone for the year. ![]() I've enjoyed seeing everyone posting lately about their first day of school ideas. ![]()
