CREATE THE PERFECT FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL PLAN!

It’s your realistic roadmap for the first week of school—so you can start strong without the stress.

These editable lesson plans tell you exactly what to do each day and include direct links to the resources you’ll need (no guessing, no scrambling).

Inside, you’ll get:
✔️ Complete first-week lesson plans for 6th–8th grade ELA.
✔️ Editable checklists to keep you organized across multiple class periods.
✔️ Engaging bell ringers and icebreakers that build community and routines.
✔️ Digital links to the activities, printables, and teacher tools I actually use.

Because the truth is—you can’t teach everything that first week.

But you can set the tone, establish systems, and start building the kind of classroom that runs itself.

These plans walk you through exactly how.
