For the most part these first few weeks have gone very well. My students are well behaved and there have not been any huge mountains that I have had to climb, maybe some hills but nothing major at all. One thing that has seemed to work well is the transfer in. This worked very well the first couple of weeks of school with my introduction classes because it helped them to remember what we did the day before, and to review what they have learned. I have also tried with being more constant because the really get used to doing the same thing, for example one day we had to use all the time in class to work on projects so I skipped the bell ringers being read aloud. So a student stops me and ask if we were going to be doing that.
I cant really see what has not worked too well I just sometimes have a hard time at remembering to do some of the things that we have been taught because the days go bye so fast
I love your post. See - students do like routine. It builds a safe learning environment for them. Dr. J.
