Last Friday was actually the first day of school here in Hawaii. But I'm a special education teacher and don't start pulling kids until Monday. Even though I'm only teaching core academics to my pull-out students, I have most of them the majority of the day. The first few weeks of school are so important for setting the ton for the rest of the year, and I will be working hard on behavior and community building this year.
I just love these beginning of the year activities by A Year of Many Firsties and can't wait to use them with my students.
As part of our community building, we'll be using these Find Someone Who activity that I made. I'll be doing a lot of modeling how to approach our classmates and ask them a question. And I'll be modeling how to use the pictures to help us if we can't read the words. You can download it {here}.
I bought this Take a Break unit from Teaching in Progress and can't wait to use it with my students. I'll be doing a lot of practicing and teaching my kiddos how to take a break, hopefully before they need a break.
I have several students with behavior plans and we will be focusing a lot on how to handle our anger. We'll be talking about how we feel and what we can do to help us make smart choices by using some of the activities found in my Making Smart Choices unit.
We can't just focus on behavior though. My school will be using Reading Wonders for the first time this year. I made this Smart Start freebie to help us get started.

Amazing resources for school! Also, I've been seeing a lot of sale for school resources lately. I can definitely feel the back-to-school mania.
