Build the foundation for a productive year of learning. Written by teachers, for teachers, this comprehensive K-6 guidebook shows how to:
- Plan a great first day-set a positive tone right from the start.
- Ensure that every part of the day flows smoothly-arrival, recess, lunch, and dismissal times, as well as lessons.
- Teach positive discipline-invest children in the rules and build prosocial behavior skills that keep their learning going.
- Present engaging academics-spark motivation and lay the groundwork for high academic achievement.
- Foster community-start with a daily Morning Meeting and end with a closing circle.
