Back to school already?
Time to make a list…
- Meet the teacher brochure
- Bulletin boards/Word Walls & Anchor Charts
- Learning goals (Bloom's Taxonomy Anchor Charts)
- Supplies (sticky notes, tissues, a timer, pencils, highlighters, scissors, glue, pencil sharpener, clipboard, stapler, binder clips, dry erase markers, magnets, stamps, hand sanitizer, cleaning supplies - disinfecting wipes & paper towels)
- Seating Charts (its hard for me to remember names so I stand at the door as students are coming in and show them the chart which is also on the board and help direct them) I also make a seating chart for my desk with student's pictures
I modified a standard seating chart from desks to lab tables in ppt.
I put students names in and can drag and drop to change seating arrangements.
- 1st day activities with students
I'm starting with Lab Safety. This also makes a great classroom display for Open House. I review the safety procedures in the lab, let students try on aprons and goggles and demonstrate how to properly wear them then they make their own safety symbol.
Hope your year starts off great!
