This is my first time with my own class.

I am just wondering what everyone else is planning on doing for the first day of school?

Are you having an assistant? If yes, than she can hand out books and assign lockers while you begin teaching. I like to start teaching right away, and I even give some homework the first day in order to set the tone. Especially this year since there is so much time still before yom tov. Good luck! (I've been teaching for quite a few years and I've. Let me know if you have any specific questions, and I'll set up an anonymous email address)

It's been a while since I had a class of my own, now I do pull-out. But my general beginning formula is some kind of introduction/ice-breaker, explanation of routines/expectations (e.g. supplies needed, lockers, if I have a big long-term program I want to introduce) and then an activity or assignment that will give me some idea of the kids' current level. A little worky to get into school mode but nothing too scary - maybe a math puzzle worksheet using skills that they should have done last year, and a small writing-and-illustrating assignment on a nice neutral chilled-out topic.
