Good Morning, my name is Ms. Espinoza. I will be your teacher. I want share a little about
myself. I have four children. Their ages range from 20, 16, 14, and 7. I enjoy having my older
girls and my younger son. I can still watch fun children movies. If you look on the wall, I have
my college degree and a picture of my family. I enjoy spending time with them. I care about
them very much. My oldest daughter graduated high school; she is going to TCC to become a
school teacher. She is working on her academic and professional goals. I would like to help you
create positive school goals.
An important part of being successful is learning procedures. Procedures are steps to complete a
task. As a teacher, I have many tasks to complete. Examples of those are making sure each of
you is successful and you are ready to go on to the next grade level. Procedures help us enjoy our
instructional learning in the classroom without any surprises or chaos.
Stand up by your desk. When I say Class, class, you say Yes! Yes! I say, Class, class.
(Pause) Students reply, Yes! Yes! When I say Star, you say, Students! I say, Star
(Pause) Students reply, Students!
Go ahead and have a set. This is one of our procedures. You will have classwork that requires
you to work by yourself and in groups. When I want to get your attention, I will say Class,
class or Students. I will go over that more with you in a little bit. Procedures are positive and
easy to do. We will practice them daily in the classroom.
In our classroom, we will be learning the purpose of having classroom procedures. I want
everyone to know what to do in the classroom. A procedure creates a safe, comfortable, and
consistent learning environment. These are not rules. They are steps to help you complete
different tasks during your school day.
Although I am excited to be your teacher this year, we need to go over the procedures during the
first weeks of school. I have planned a fun and purposeful year for you. We need to work
together in following the procedures each day.
I am very proud to have all of you. I believe each of you can learn the procedures.
Teri Norris, an experienced teacher of 25 years, created her First Day of School plan, pg. 277 (Wong,
2014). She was successful with it for five years. I am using her script as a guide to help start the new
school year. As each new school year starts, I can revise my script. (Wong, 2014)
Lets talk about the Morning Routine. Class starts for each one as you walk into the classroom.
Every day that you walk into the classroom, there is a Morning Routine. Its for all of you. The
moment you step into the room, you will go to your locker, take your class folder out of your
backpack, hang up your sweater and backpack, and put the class folder in the blue crate.
Let me have Joey, Matt, Lucy, and Sara show us the Morning Routine. (pause)
Does everyone understand the Mourning Routine? Using the pre-made craft sticks with names,
call on a few students to repeat the Morning Routine.
All of you are Fantastic! Fantastic! Show the students the movement by pretending to fan yourself
while saying the word Fantastic.
You will go directly to your seat to start the Sponge Activity after completing those steps. The
Sponge Activity is located on the Agenda Wall. (point) You will have a daily composition book
for your Sponge Activity.
Each morning, I want the Morning Routine done in a quiet manner. You should be working
quietly on the Sponge Activity. While Ms. Espinoza is greeting students at the classroom door,
you work independently. This is not a time to talk to your classmates or me. When you follow
the Morning Routine, Ms. Espinoza can complete other morning tasks.
Before we go any further, you have class folders on your desk. This is important; it is a part of
your Morning Routine. Go ahead and put it in your backpack.
We are going to do the Morning Routine as a class. You are sitting in groups of four. I will call
on one table at a time. Quietly stand up, push your chair in, take your backpack, and walk to
stand in line.
In a softer voice, say lets give ourselves a finger clap for lining up so quietly. Show the
students the finger clap affirmation. Students only use their right and left index finger to make a
clap.
Open the classroom door. Wait for my signal first. In a quiet manner, you will walk into the
hallway and line up against the wall. Everyone will stand with their hands by their side waiting
for my signal to walk into the classroom. You and I will say Good Morning. Then go back to
your seat in a quiet manner. When I say a quiet manner that means no one should be talking.
Please walk into the hallway. (pause) Signal the students start entering the class with the
morning greeting.
Wow! Wow! Show the students how to do the Wow! affirmation. Students hold up their hands
forming the letter W with their fingers. The O is the students face.
As you are walking into the classroom quietly, what is the first thing you do at the classroom
door? (greet)
After you greet the teacher, take your folder out of your backpack. Your backpack and sweater
will go into your locker. Before you hang it on the hook, make sure you have everything you
need. You will not be allowed to go to your locker until the end of day. After you unpack your
backpack, what do you do? (take the class folder to the blue crate)
Call on one table group at a time to finish the morning routine. Are there any questions about the
Morning Routine? Let me have everyone stand up and do a Standing O. Show the student to hold
up their arms over their head to make a O. Now, you are going to do your Sponge Activity.
Begin the Sponge Activity and allow 15 minutes.
Please put your Sponge Activity aside. Does anyone have questions about what to do during the
Morning Routine?
You did an awesome job following the steps of the Morning Routine. Thank you! Lookin Good!
Lookin Good! Show students how to do the affirmation.
