Welcome back! Make your new middle and high school students feel at home with a collection of classroom templates, printables, and activities designed to establish a supportive and collaborative classroom environment.

Establishing classroom rules and expectations during the first few days of school is crucial in setting the tone for the entire school year. Exposing individuals to a morning routine, as soon as they walk through the door on that first day of school, is a must! Create the classroom rules together and identify consequences for breaking them. Model and practice classroom transitions, as well as hallway procedures. Ensure pupils know how to be effective listeners and direction followers. Create an encouraging, respectful, and collaborative community in the classroom. Maintain an organized environment throughout the year. Use this collection of classroom management resources to guarantee a successful school year.

It can be very tricky to find time to come up with rotating bulletin board ideas. Here is a collection that answers all your problems. From August to June, these bulletin board ideas are guaranteed to help get you through the year.

Break through the back-to-school anxiety with a collection of ice breakers for kindergarten through fifth grade. Scholars get to know their new friends through a variety of activities such as designing a quilt or cootie catcher, conducting personal interviews, singing songs, playing a game of "Would You Rather...?, and conducting a scavenger hunt. As an added bonus, an article provides additional ice breakers, as well as insight into how to build a classroom community and how to spark grand discussions. 

A new school year, or a return from a long break, calls for an ice breaker. Help scholars get to know one another with a collection of ice breakers designed to meet the needs of grades six through twelve. Activities require pupils to reflect, think critically, work collaboratively, and most importantly, have fun!
