First Day of School!! Ready, Set, Go!!!

Hi everyone!
In Michigan, Tuesday is the first day of school for the majority of us!  Here are a few reminders to start off your year in WBT style!

1.  Greet and Class Yes:  After welcoming your class and telling them how much you are looking forward to having them in class, introduce "Class, Yes"!   I do this while they are still in line.  Have them practice looking at you as they say yes!  Once inside go over the BIG steps of Class Yes.
SAY Yes!  STOP what you are doing, LOOK at your teacher,  Hands together!  The key to success is practice, practice, practice!

2.  Hands and Eyes:  I introduce this one quite early in the day.   Remind them you will use this when you have something VERY important to tell them!

3.  Mirror words:  I like to introduce Mirror words before I teach the rules.   Great way to be sure they are engaged as I go over our class rules.  Be sure to practice this a bit with the younger students!

4.  Class Rules:  Remember to take time to go over each rule thoroughly!  Role play right way and wrong way, practice until they know it!  Kindergarten teachers:  Remember the tweak of 1 rule per day!

5.  HAVE FUN!!!!  Remember to have fun while you are teaching all the rules!!

Have a GREAT first day!  Remember "You've got this!!"
