Create a detailed plan for your best first day (and week!) of school ever! This resource will guide you through analyzing all the tasks and events that need to happen on your first day as you write your detailed first-day lesson plan. Then you can extend this process to plan the rest of your first week! 

A successful first day of school builds a powerful momentum that will carry you through the following weeks and months. This guide and lesson plan will walk you through creating your own perfect plan for the first day of school and includes our finished lesson plans for the first day as well.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• Checklist for planning your first day of school
• Back to school goal setting sheets for teachers
• Time filler idea bank sheet (print and digital)
• Fixed event planning sheet (print and digital)
• An interactive daily schedule creator (cut and paste and digital Jamboard)
• Our real-life example script/lesson plan for the first day of school (editable)
• Blank script for creating your own first day of school script/lesson plan (print and digital)
• Blank scripts for each day of the first week of school (print and digital)
• First week self care planning sheet
• Night before school checklist
• Schedule at a glance planning sheet for the first week
• Hour by hour outline sheet for each day of the first week (print and digital)
• Teachers Guide for using this resource

You’ll start with setting your back to school goals and making a plan for how to meet them in the first week of school. Then we’ll help you break down the fixed events in your schedule. You’ll plug those events into your interactive schedule creator. Next you’ll add your flexible events to the schedule. And then you’ll write it out into your daily script or lesson plan! 

This seems like a lot of work up front but we’ll guide you through the process! And you can always refer to our example lesson plan to help you as you create your own. Next year you will be able to reuse a lot of this hard work again!

❤️ You’ll feel much more comfortable on your first day of school knowing that you have planned out your day minute-by-minute! 

Having carefully planned first day and first week of school lesson plans or scripts will keep you on track with your daily goals and free up your energy and attention to focus on connecting with your new students!
