Everyone of us is always excited on the first day of school. We get to know new friends, classmates, and teachers. As I watched the film "First Day of School: The Classroom Management", I was able to get new ideas, these are:

• The first day of school is the most important day of the school year.

• Implementation is the key to success.

• Your very first priority when the class starts is to get the students to work.

For me these are the ideas that I will own to guide me soon in teaching.

I agree that the first day of school is the most important day of the school year. Because if the first day of school is a mess then your school year will be mess. If it is successful in the first day, then the rest of the school year is successful. I also owned the idea that implementation is the key to success. If in the first day of school you implement all your rules and what your class and classroom to be then that implementation will be a success for rest of the school year. Otherwise, consistency will not be met if you did not made implementation on the very first day. Another one is that a priority of teachers when students gets to class is to work, I remember my grade six teacher, every time we enter the class, there is already a seat work that is posted and we have to answer it, and that became a routine. We have to make our students get to work every time they enter the classroom, because this is one of the strategy of classroom management. As a future teacher I want this ideas to stay on me and implement it soon. To achieve a well managed classroom and the consistency of what I did on the very first day.
