“It is important for me to set a consistent tone with my students from the moment they walk inside my classroom door," Mrs. Beers explains. "I like to get students right down to business so that they aren’t spending their entire day listening to me talk."
Over the course of her teaching career, Mrs. Beers has created hundreds of original resources that are designed to be collaborative and engaging for students. Her favorites for back to school include activities that introduce classroom management concepts while also providing the opportunity to assess group dynamics and comprehension skills. She lists the following items from her TPT store as “cheap and easy wins” for middle school teachers...
• Getting to Know You! Editable Chit Chat Cards
• Classroom Expectations Display and Discuss Toolkit
• First Day Jitters Reader's Theater Toolkit
Each of the featured resources above allow students to learn about one another while also building awareness about the expectations of their new classroom community.
“My goal is always to have my students walk away so pumped and excited about our first day, they can’t wait to return tomorrow," Mrs. Beers says. "I want to incorporate class activities and ideas that give students a positive experience on their first day."
