The first week of school is an exciting time for both teachers and students in a self-contained classroom. Creating a positive learning environment from the very beginning of the first day is crucial for success.  In this week’s episode, we'll explore ten engaging activities and lesson plans designed to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere during the first five days of school.     In this episode you will learn:   How to collaborate and communicate with your parapros and your students. Why you should have clearly defined roles and expectations for everyone in your classroom. What ongoing training you need to have in place for your parapros. About implementing data collection and progress monitoring systems that work.   Remember, it's not just about the activities; it's about the connections we make and the impact we have on the lives of our students.
