Thanks for popping by!
It sounds like y...Hi Leena,<br />Thanks for popping by! <br />It sounds like you have really thought things through and you are really prepared! That's great :) <br />The first day is going to go so quickly! You are right - there is so much to do and you are not going to be able to get through it all. The first day of prep/foundation is all about making the children feel comfortable and safe with you and their new environment. I wouldn't worry too much about going through EVERY rule with them, I would focus more on the things you have mentioned like lining up, morning routines (where to put your bag etc), toilet trips and finally how to behave during learning times.<br />Praise and reward good behaviour on the first day - go over the top with compliments - "Wow!!! I love the way Alex has put his hand up when he needs to speak! He is showing me he is ready for school! Well Done!" or "I can see that Lisa is ready for learning - she is sitting so beautifully with her hands in her lap!"<br />In terms of formal classroom rules and expectations, i would discuss with the children what they think is acceptable classroom behaviour and create a class list - together. I would do this on Day 3-4. You don't want overwhelm the children on their first day.<br />Good luck with it all - you are gong to be fine though!!! - I would love to hear how you went.<br />Enjoy your first year of Prep!! :)<br />ChantelleMiss Jacobs Little Learnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463859443205401514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202482334942474229.post-77803600604644856432016-01-20T06:01:19.786+11:002016-01-20T06:01:19.786+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Miss Jacobs Little Learnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463859443205401514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202482334942474229.post-66783425509938492002016-01-19T23:11:56.651+11:002016-01-19T23:11:56.651+11:00Hello,
Loving your posts! This is my first year t...Hello, <br />Loving your posts! This is my first year teaching foundation and my school has a school wide positive behaviour support plan which is similar in that it rewards students positive behaviours opposed to giving attention to the negative/ unwanted behaviours. i wanted to know how you are introducing them on day one. I'm beginning to think i'm running out of time. I currently have 9- 9:30 students arrive and do activities i have set out around the classroom ie. puzzles, colouring, train blocks etc then I begin with the roll and a book which leads into developing our classroom rules and behaviours for within the classroom. Once we've done this we move onto how to go to the toilet at school and practice/ do that. Then before recess i realised i have to teach them how to play outside and how to line up and wait for me so I think I might do that after the toilets but i want to brainstorm/ read a book on what we do outside.. then give the students an opportunity to play and then line up etc... then recess I havent figured out what i'm doing after that but i did want them to colour in these hands i have so i can make a classroom decoration ... does this sounds alright? I'm at a really small school and am the only prep teacher. Sorry long post but i'm beginning to get nervous because these little gorgeous creatures are relying on me ... P.S apologies for the bad writing I am genuinely half asleep and this box is so small :)Leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162323696683508348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202482334942474229.post-26260859100220483542015-01-15T00:49:46.920+11:002015-01-15T00:49:46.920+11:00Fabulous post, Chantelle!
