"Good morning, class! Today is a very special day because we're going to have a welcoming meeting. This is our first chance to gather together and feel excited about this new school year. I want everyone to feel happy and included in our classroom. Let’s start with a warm welcome and get to know each other a little better!"
Guidance: Show enthusiasm in your voice. Smile and use open body language to make the students feel comfortable and excited.
"Let’s gather in a circle. Each of you will get a turn to say your name, and then you can share something you love to do. I’ll start! My name is [Teacher’s Name], and I love to read books! Who wants to go next?"
Guidance: As each student shares, encourage clapping or a smile after their turn. This will create a supportive environment.
"Now that we’ve shared our names, let’s talk about how we can make our classroom a happy place. Here are some rules that will help us work together:
Does anyone have a rule they think is important to add?"
Guidance: Engage the class by asking for their thoughts. If they suggest other rules, discuss their relevance.
"Let’s play an icebreaker game called the Name Game! Each of you will say your name and something that starts with the same letter as your name. I will show you how it goes. My name is [Teacher’s Name], and I love to read Raccoons! Now, let’s go around the circle."
Guidance: Model the game with enthusiasm, using a silly or fun interest to ease any tension.
"Now that we know each other better, let’s create a welcoming banner for our classroom! Everyone can contribute by drawing something that represents what they love about school. It can be a book, a toy, or even a fun activity! Once we are done, we will hang it up for everyone to see."
Guidance: Provide materials like paper, markers, and crayons. Make sure everyone understands their contributions will go on the banner and encourage creativity.
"Now, it’s time to gather around for storytime. I have a wonderful book to read called ‘The Rainbow Fish’ by Marcus Pfister. This story is about sharing and friendship, which are important for our class too. Let’s see what the fish learns!"
Guidance: Read the book with expression, using different voices for the characters. Ask questions during the story to keep the students engaged.
"To wrap up our meeting, I want each of you to stand up. Let’s stand in a circle and say something positive about ourselves. It can be something you are good at, like drawing or being a good friend. I’ll start! I am good at helping people."
Guidance: Encourage each child, and go around the circle. Celebrate their positive statements with clapping or cheers.
"Thank you, everyone, for sharing today. I feel so happy to have each of you in our class! Remember, we can always support one another and make this a wonderful year. Tomorrow, we will have more fun activities to learn together! See you then!"
Guidance: Make eye contact and thank them sincerely for their participation. Reinforce anticipation for the next day and activities.
