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.
Classroom Rules: Write down the agreed-upon classroom rules on chart paper or the whiteboard. This can include:
Class Pledge: Create a simple classroom pledge that everyone can agree to follow. Students can read it aloud together.
“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:
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.
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).
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.
This lesson plan outlines a comprehensive and engaging start to the school year while focusing on classroom community and individual expression.
