There are always nerves and excitement in the air on the first day of school. I'm not sure if it's more from me or from the students, but either way, it's important to think of ways to calm those fears and set a clear tone from day one. The tone I like to set from the beginning is one of openness and respect. We will be doing a lot of sharing as the year goes on so I like students to feel comfortable in my classroom.

Lesson Plan For 8th Grade English

I start the class by reading the poem 'First Day Of School' by Taylor Mali. Mali is a fantastic slam poem and many of his poems can be used in the classroom for a wide variety of reasons. I like using this poem as it calls out those fears and anxiety but also reminds students that first impressions are so important. It also helps me keep that in mind. I don't have students do any writing with the poem but I simply read it to the class as they follow along with a copy. I ask students why I would read this poem. Many students say it's because it's about the first day of school. Others get the deeper message about first impressions. This is a lesson I want students to think about.
