Back to School Planning

What a week it's been! It's funny how only two weeks after returning from my Winter break, it feels like I didn't have a break at all! Boy, were my kids off today, don't know whether it was the weather or that we were meant to have our sports day (but it got rained out), but they sure were hard work!

Anyway, today I thought I'd link up with Cara (First Grade Parade) and her Throwback Thursday linky. Since many of you are gearing up for the start of a new school year, I've chosen a post from January this year when I was getting ready for our back to school.

I thought I'd share my planning for the first week back.  Because of the Australia Day public holiday on Monday, I'll share the first 4 days. 

My plans might change once I talk with the other teachers on my year level during our teacher days. Also, since I haven't taught Year 1 before, I might have to adjust things throughout the day. I've got no idea with timing with these littlies as well. I've generally put a chunk of time to do a couple of things (e.g. read a book, do a whole class activity and an individual activity) because I was unsure how long they'll take to get things done. But this is what I'm thinking of for Day 1 so far.

 

I haven't written them out word for word (whose got time for that?!) but it does just give a general overview. I've included links to documents as well as a few freebies. Since I'm in Australia, things like announcements and the pledge aren't included.
