Note: Feel free to use the presentation linked above, you’ll need to copy it to your Google Drive first.You could create a slide presentationwith some pictures/videos to show the kids some of the trips and adventures that you’ve been on over the summer to help them connect – kids love hearing about your personal life (this might be a good idea especially if you are new to the school)… just keep it short.Your relationship with your students is what everything else is built on, so spend some time here first. I could wait, but I know they are dying to tell me about all of their summer trips, experiences and adventures – and honestly I love hearing about them. I do this for about 5 minutes as soon as the kids walk in the door. Introductions – kids tell me about their summers, I tell them about mine.This is what I do with my students on their first day of Physical Education Class: This translates into what we all want – more teaching time for us and activity time for our students. The better you can setup your class culture at the beginning of the year, the easier it will be for you to avoid future problems and time wasted on management or behavioral issues. I think about this every year before school begins and I think it rings true in our classrooms. Remember the old saying, “ An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure“. How do you accomplish all of it and what kinds of activities do you plan? Remember, this is a great opportunity for you to establish the DNA of your Phys Ed program and set up the culture of your classroom. The first day is tough – you want to play some games, have some fun, but you know that you need to establish the procedures and class expectations as well. What do you do on your First Week of School?
