What can students expect on the first day?


On the first day of class I think it is important to start off with introductions and rule sharing.

I would start the day off by giving a short introduction to myself. This maybe the first time some of the students have had me so it’s a good idea to let them know who I am.  This is also a perfect opportunity to get to know some of my students and become familiar with names. So I might start with a quick activity or icebreaker that would be modified according to age levels in order to get to know my students. 

The next thing that I would do is go over the rules and expectations. It is important that students understand right away what they can expect in the classroom. This way they know what you are expecting as the class progresses.
