Objectives


Materials Needed


Introduction (5 Minutes)

  1. Welcome Students: Greet students at the door as they enter the classroom. Encourage them to find their seats and get settled.
  2. Ice Breaker Activity: Instruct each student to create a name tag with their name and an interesting fact about themselves. This could be a favorite hobby, a pet, or an unusual experience.

Whole Group Discussion (10 Minutes)

  1. Classroom Expectations: Gather students in a circle or at their desks. Discuss the importance of respect, responsibility, and safety in the classroom. Ask for volunteers to share what those words mean to them.

  2. Classroom Rules: Write down the agreed-upon classroom rules on chart paper or the whiteboard. This can include:

    • Listen when others are speaking
    • Raise your hand to speak
    • Keep hands and feet to yourself
  3. Class Pledge: Create a simple classroom pledge that everyone can agree to follow. Students can read it aloud together.


Individual Activity (10 Minutes)

  1. “All About Me” Worksheet: Hand out “All About Me” worksheets. Explain that these will help everyone learn more about each other. Students should fill out their worksheets, including sections like:

    • Favorite subject
    • Hobbies
    • What they want to learn this year
  2. Sharing Time: Once completed, allow students to share one thing from their worksheets with the class. This helps foster connections among students and begins to build a classroom community.


Closing Activity (5 Minutes)

  1. Feelings on the First Day: Distribute sticky notes to each student. Ask them to write down one word that describes how they feel about the first day of school (e.g., excited, nervous, happy).

  2. Sharing Feelings: Invite students to share their feelings aloud. Discuss the variety of emotions present in the classroom and reassure them that it’s normal to feel a mixture of feelings on the first day.
