First Day of School Activity

“NO David!!” By: David Shannon

This is an activity we used the first day of school. This is a great way to introduce rules and expectations. We started by reading any of the David books and jotting down ways David was getting into trouble in his classroom. Then, as a class, we turned all of those behaviors into positive classroom rules. After we brainstormed those ideas, all of the kids got a chance to create their own David characters and wrote a classroom rule in their speech bubbles. (We found this great idea from Nancy at First Grade W.O.W.  )  The final step of this project was to post the classroom rules around your classroom. (These rule posters are available in chevron or polka dots at our TPT store.)
