What should I do on the first day of kindergarten?

Your students are the only ones nervous about the first day, your
parents will also be nervous and chances are you'll feel a little
nervous too. Here are some tips to make that first day go
smoothly.


The best way to start the year is with routines. I'll share why I
think routines are critical to a well-run class and a room that
is peaceful. Giving our students predictable and consistent
routines will set the stage for success for the rest of the
year.
