I am a second year teacher in an urban area and I'm looking for advice about what to teach the first week of school. I've been using online resources to look up ice breaker activities and getting to know you activities. I have found some great stuff but I feel like because I teach in an urban area, these activities will not relate to my entire class. I will get limited participation and parent support which will defeat the point of the activity. Then I was considering only doing a day or two of ice breaker activities and then jumping right into the curriculum. However, I didn't think that was fun or inviting for the first week of school. I don't want to sell my student short because of where I teach but I also want to have an effective first week of school because I know how important the first week is in terms of setting the tone for the school year. HELP!
Steve Hi, We are going to watch a few "Kid President" videos - one to teachers and students (checkout you tube "Kid President motivation" ) and another one - I can't remember it, maybe guide to be awesome). We are going to be in groups of 2 or 3 and bsee who can build the highest tower out of plastic drinking straws and rubber bands. ...See More
