Re: What are you doing on the first day? And during the first week?
AS I teach high school it's...
"Hi, I'm Mrs. K.... yes, the rumors are true, I will work your tushy off. We have a Regents/college Final to pass with flying colors!!"
Classroom contract
Textbook
Then that week it's right into hardcore coursework...
Both of my courses have a quiz for that Friday.
College Eco, I go right into the concept of scarcity after I spend 10 minutes on the above.

* Setting routines (especially morning routine)

* setting class goal
* Getting to know you icebreakers
* An all about you poster from Scholastic (usually takes a few days to complete)
* Cooperative math project
* Guess who poems
* Math Inventory Test
* Running Records
I'll jump into ss test prep right away since I teach 5th grade.

That's funny -- your first day sounds an awful lot like mine (except in my case, it's English). And in my AP class, one of my goals is to inundate them with so much paperwork that the kids who figured they'd just "give it a try" realize that might not be the best idea.

I also teach HS English. I will do a brief overview of the course and then go right into a Regents Task I. Their essay will be due the next day!
