First Friday, New Beginnings & A Freebie

This is step one.

Well it is Sunday night and I am about to embark on my second week of school.  My first week was awesome and exhausting at the same time.  I can't remember the last time I had to learn 120 students names!  Boy has it been awhile.  I think I have my homeroom memorized and about 1/2 the other kids.  The rest are honey and sweetie! 

First weeks can be tough with all the new rules and procedures that have to be learned.  On Friday we blew off some steam and practice group jobs with a team building activity that I read about on The Science Penguin blog which Ari found on Science Gal. They LOVED it.  So here are a few pictures. Assigning jobs really made a difference!  Here is my lab sheet for FREE. 

What are some of your first week tips?



This is the final step.
