First Day Of School Plan

Gestures: A lively and animated teaching style captures students’ attention, makes the material more interesting, and facilitates learning. Head nods also communicate positive reinforcement to students and indicate that you are listening.

When student arrive greet them with a friendly hello. Students should be encouraged to put their things away on their own. This time of day is a great time for them to work on self-help skills in a real life setting. Allow students to be as independent as possible. If a student needs assistance, use the least amount of assistance for them to be successful. Try providing visual or verbal cues, starting a task for them to complete, or providing a model for them.

Work is to be organized and distributed when first starting class. A set goal is to be created and must be completed by the end of class.

Starting school at a later time would improve the lives of teens not only their education but it would also help improve their health. The first reason to have later starting times is it would help students be more alert in class. I personally tend to be more attentive and alert towards the end half of first block so around 9 or 9:30. Teens who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to have lower performance in academics and athletics (Backgrounder). They are also likely to have impaired cognitive function and lower decision-making skills (Backgrounder). The next reason to start school at a later time is it can reduce health issues related to sleep deprivation. According to the doctors of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine starting school

For a circle time about matching shapes and colors I would first read a book about shapes. I would then hand out different colored shapes in pairs and ask students around the circle what color their shapes are and what shape they have. They will then be given time while the music plays to seek out the matching pair in color and shape. Once the music stops we will take time to see if everyone matches. We will review each pair and if someone is mismatched we can find the right match. We will have a seat at our spots and read a book about colors. Everyone will hold on to their shapes. After the book, students will first exchange shapes with a student who has a different shape. Then the students will take turns to sort their shapes into color bins that match the shapes as well. On each bin there will be a picture of the corresponding shape and in that shape's color. During this time students are coming up in groups of four so I can see how they are sorting.Some students will come up with other students who may need help so that they can see peer assistance rather than me helping them. Lastly, we will review each color and each shape together by going over the shapes and color separately. I will call on students who have raised hands to name the shape or color. We will also talk about

The students greet the teacher and listen to the teacher. They answer the teacher's question.

Assistance go and get breakfast and set it out for student to choose their breakfast. They have two choices of entrées, hot or cold, a fruit, and milk It various from day to day.

I walked the students through this step by step. The calculator was projected on the Promethean Board for students to follow along. I used two examples for this. The second example students did on their own with little to no difficulty. During the remained of class I helped students with various other lesson activities. During second period, Geometry, I reviewed the previous night’s homework assignment and also reviewed the lesson summary true/false questions. For both of these activities I asked for voluntary response as well as randomly selecting students to answer. During fourth period I conducted my second teacher observation in Dee Hertzog’s Honors Geometry class. This lesson was on the Segment Addition Postulate. Later in the evening I attended and took part in the Parent Open House. In each class I introduced myself and discussed how the homework policy worked. The Open House ran from

The beginning of each school year has its ups and downs, but for me, the downs outweigh the ups. Everything about school, except for seeing my friends, is frustrating and sometimes that can be frustrating. From learning my school schedule to having to sit through seven consecutive classes each day for around ten months, nothing about school comes easy, especially at the beginning of the school year. Getting back to the morning routine, getting back to the school routine, and getting to know my new teachers are all things that do not make the first days of school any easier.

Once this is done, I will also mark down for my records who is eating what so that I can help students get their food at lunch. This will also help so that I can keep track of the student’s lunch money as well.

The first day, the teacher should be prepared for anything that can come up through the day such as knowing the emergency exits just in case of any drills, where to get the textbooks or supplies, what to do if the child gets sick in the room, how to contact the office or janitor, and if it rains to know where to pick up the students (17-18 classroom discipline and control: 101 practical techniques).

My first day of school was here. My FIRST day at a real school. I used to be homeschooled. I never had friends in my life and the feeling knowing that I could share my feelings and have fun with someone was here. I was born here and just moved to Illinois. My family owns a big company and we move a lot but not anymore because one my mom wanted me to go to a school and two my dad wanted to show my brother about his company so then he could take over it when my dad is gone.

stations that they will alternate. Their pictures will be next to the station they are supposed to go

To show that they are ready each student will be sitting on assigned letter on the carpet with their hands folded in their lap. Teacher will sit in front of them modeling the behavior. Once each student is on the carpet sitting nicely teacher gives each child one of the laminated pictures of an item in the classroom.The teacher then reads aloud the content and language content to the students so they know what the lesson is. Then the teacher introduces the Velcro board and the names of six shapes on the top as well as the picture of the shape. Teacher calls on each child with a 3x5 card and ask them to place the picture in the correct category on the Velcro board. (for example: Kayla what do you have a picture of “table” and it where do you think the “table” goes pointing to the six different shapes on the Velcro board) Repeat until each child who had a card has gone. Teacher then tells the students that at your desk you will find Yellow “Just shape me Journals”. “Today we are going to use what we just learned to make a book of shapes, look around the room and draw the item or items that fit with the shape. Please focus on the smart board so you can see an example of what your books should look like. Include a sentence with your picture: If you look at my book I choose a table and placed it under a rectangle

There are not many things I love more than the smell of pine trees, the cold brisk wind of the first snowfall, and the joy of Christmas time. I can see myself now, getting released on my last day of school before winter break. Second grade might not have been a struggle, but a couple weeks off of school was just what a little me needed. I trudged home through the snow and slush. The sidewalks were almost non-existent in Michigan winters; you had to search for footprints made by others or risk a rolled ankle. Muddy slush seeped into my snow boots, yet still I had a grin peeled across my face. This smile was mostly a result of the day approaching, December 25th. Christmas mostly meant a couple things to me when I was little, presents, candy, and my favorite vacation out west to the mountains. The Christmas card had already sent out that year, it was all seven of us; heads morphed onto the Little Rascals characters. At the time this was probably relatively funny, but now it’s pretty much just embarrassing. The poems on the cards were always the best, I’m sure my second grader friends couldn’t interpret the jokes my mom wrote, but their moms would. We would start planning our Christmas cards around September, it was way too early but I guess it was necessary, to create a comic masterpiece. I never understood how she made everything rhyme and flow so well, it still amazes me to this day.
