Beginning Of The Year Classroom Activities. The beginning of the year is the most physically and intellectually draining for everyone, but you won't be falling into bed exhausted EVERY night for the entire year. This is a great beginning-of-the-year activity—or beginning of summer programs when many of the kids don't know each other… After a few weeks, save one copy of photos for your program 'Memory Book' or if this is for a classroom-give to parents!
Our lessons and activities are centered around learning the Everything in our classroom has a place, and it stays in the same place all year, so that children can find things and put them away more easily. Organization can lead to student engagement, and student engagement can lead to, of course, learning. Be prepared to work extra hard now and you will reap the benefits quickly.
This activity helps students understand that the classroom they have been assigned to for the next year is a warm and caring environment.
Procedures can make a significant difference the learning of your students.
Included: Ten activities for involving students in creating classroom rules. At the beginning of the school year, establish the class rules. Using stations on the first day of school sets the tone for the year.
