Early Childhood And Benefits

The first week of school is the time when you set your standards and expectations for the rest of the year. Make sure you teach your students exactly how you want them to enter the classroom, how you want them to sit on the carpet, where to hang their backpacks, and even how to ask to use the bathroom! Practice these routines several times a day for several weeks, and revisit them often!

Give your students a tour of the classroom and the school to help them get acquainted with their surroundings. Teach them the expected behaviors in each environment. A fun way to do this is through songs and rhymes.
