Getting to Know Your Students

Here's a blog post from the past that is especially appropriate for the next few weeks.

The first few days of school are crazy busy. In secondary schools, much of the time is spent dealing with students being added or dropped from your class as students’ schedules are adjusted and class loads are balanced.

The paperwork piles up, and yet you meet a room full of new students every hour or so. How do you prepare for these first few important days?

Getting to Know You Activities for the First Few Days of School



Getting to Know You Activities for the First Few Days of School is a series of activities that introduced my students to one another and to me, and provided a sample of their writing and their oral presentation skills. You can use these activities to make the first few days of your school year informative and productive.

I also hope you will take a look at my best selling product on TeachersPayTeachers.com. My eBook Simple Steps to Sentence Sense has been used in schools throughout the U.S. and is several countries overseas since 1996. It has been tested on thousands of students and they enjoy learning grammar and usage the way I present it. Click on the testamonials tab above to see what teachers are saying about my series of books.

The good news is that both of these products will be on sale at 28% off during the Back to School Sale on TpT August 3rd and 4th. Enter the code: BTS2015 at checkout.

Thanks to Brian Wiltgen (Wise Guys) for creating the links below to other top secondary teachers who are participating in the sale.

I hope your first days of school are fantastic!
