Do what is best for your students, but I hope you find something here in this post that will be a help to you and your class! Great! Every school and every class is different. Maybe your school is different and you can skip over some of the activities I am sharing today. I am giving this information, because it might explain why we have supply boot camp, or practice saying and spelling our names in numerous ways. A few have went to daycare or attended our Early Childhood program, but the majority have never been in an educational environment.

Most of my kinders come to me, having had no prior schooling experience.

We have almost 70% free lunch and were just given a grant to implement free breakfast for every student, every day.

We do not have any multi-family housing zoned for our school, so our transiency rate is fairly low. I teach in a middle-class neighborhood, with some families on the higher end of middle class and many on the lower end of middle class. If you don’t know me, let me quickly introduce myself…Hi! I’m Abigail (Abbie) and I teach full-day kindergarten in Las Vegas, Nevada. These are just a few things that I do in my classroom that work during that first week of kindergarten. While I would love to say, please come back and read this post before every school year, the reality is that every group of students is different. I think we can all agree that each year in kindergarten is unique and for the most part, we as teachers do not know what is going to walk through those doors on the first day of school.
