Episode Details

Are you spending your summer organizing centers, decorating your classroom, and shopping for kindergarten supplies, but you're still not sure what to teach during the first week of school?

You're not alone. Every summer, kindergarten teachers spend hours preparing classroom centers, bulletin boards, and materials while putting off the one thing that has the biggest impact on the entire school year: planning the first week of kindergarten.

In this episode, I'm sharing what actually deserves your attention before school starts, why routines, procedures, and classroom expectations matter more than perfectly prepped centers, and how focusing on the right things will help you start the year feeling confident instead of overwhelmed.

If you've been wondering what to teach during the first week of kindergarten or you're feeling unsure about where to start, this episode is for you.

I also share all the details about First Week of Kindergarten Blueprint, my three-day workshop designed to help you stop guessing and walk into your classroom with a clear plan for those critical first five days. You'll learn exactly what to teach, when to teach it, and how to build the routines and classroom management systems that set the tone for the entire school year.
