Thematic Meeting Plan: First Day

1. Introduction

Script for Teacher:
"Good morning, everyone! I'm so excited to welcome you all to a brand new school year! My name is [Teacher's Name], and I will be your teacher for this year. Today, we are going to focus on our first day together, where we will get to know each other, learn about our classroom, and talk about what we will learn this year. Let’s start with a fun icebreaker activity!"

• Guidance for Icebreaker Activity:
  "Find a partner and share your name, one fun fact about yourself, and your favorite hobby. You have two minutes to talk, and then I’ll ask a few of you to share what you learned about your partner."

2. Classroom Tour

Script for Teacher:
"Now that we’ve gotten to know each other a little better, let’s take a tour of our classroom! This is an important space where we will spend a lot of time learning together. Follow me and I’ll show you where everything is."

• Key Areas to Highlight:
  "Here is our reading corner; you can find many books to explore. Over there is the supply station where you can grab what you need. And here is our bulletin board, which will display all our wonderful work this year."

• Guidance:
  "As we walk around, feel free to ask any questions about where things are or how we will use them."

3. Classroom Rules and Expectations

Script for Teacher:
"Now that you have seen the classroom, let’s talk about our rules and expectations for this year. These rules will help us to be safe, respectful, and responsible learners."

• Discussion Points to Include:

  • "What do you think respect means in our classroom?"
  • "How can we be responsible for our actions?"

• Listing Rules:
  "Here are some rules I think are important:

  1. Listen when others are speaking.
  2. Raise your hand to ask questions.
  3. Keep your hands and feet to yourself.
  4. Be kind and help each other.
     What do you think of these rules? Let’s make sure everyone agrees before we write them down."

4. Overview of the Year

Script for Teacher:
"Now that we know the rules, let’s talk about what we are going to learn this year! I’m really excited about the subjects we will cover, and I want to share that with you."

• Subjects to Introduce:
  "This year, we will dive into topics like:

  • Math: We will explore addition, subtraction, and even start with multiplication!
  • Reading: We will read amazing stories and develop our reading skills through discussions.
  • Science: Get ready for some hands-on experiments! We will explore plants, animals, and weather.
  • Social Studies: We will take a journey through our community and learn about the world we live in!"

• Project Guidance:
  "We will also have fun projects, such as creating a class book where everyone contributes. Each of you will have a chance to share your creativity! Does anyone have questions about what I just shared?"

5. Closing and Reflection

Script for Teacher:
"Before we end our first day together, I want to take a moment to reflect. Let’s circle up and share one thing we are excited about for this year."

• Reflection Prompt:
  "Think about: What is one thing you can't wait to learn more about, or what is a fun thing you want to do in class? I’ll start: I’m really looking forward to our science experiments this year!"

• Closure:
  "Thank you all for sharing! I can guarantee we will have a fantastic time together. Don’t forget, I’m here for you, so if you ever have any questions or need help, please come to me. Have a wonderful rest of the day, and remember to bring your smile tomorrow!"
