What would you do for the first week of classes in a seventh grade classroom?

Question

Please I need help!!! Please give me some great ideas to do in the first week of classes! :)

Answer 1

Well things like, learning the rules of the classroom and everything. make them do a simple writing piece about something. and also do some sort of project or worksheet paper on "getting to know you" or something, so that each student shares some info about themselves to the class so everyone will kinda get to know eachother. that's what we usually did like every year when i was in elementary/middle school.

Answer 2

get them to write essay on what they want to be i life career etc  then each can make a project book all about it so they will be busy getting info and at the end each must do a presentation in front of class with charts or pictures to show their goals in life .You can get this started by playing "what s my job " where each mimes out what they want to be .Great fun .........then expand it all .All ages enoy this sort of thing so you cant loose
