Establishing a Positive Classroom Culture during the First Week of School - Elementary Classroom

One of the most important things that I do during the first week of school is to establish a positive classroom culture. In this video I discuss some of the things that I do to establish that culture.

Thank you! can you go more in detail about the work habit/conduct card? Do you use it all year?

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Instead of a long written response here, I think that may be worthy of a short video. I will try to get that done tomorrow after school and get it posted tomorrow evening.

Hi. Thanks again for watching. I just scheduled a "classroom management" video to release at 10:00 AM this morning (8/10/24). Hopefully, it will answer any questions you have. If you have questions after the video, just ask.

❤❤❤ Great ideas, love your t-shirt, can you tell me where you got it? Thanks!

[@ms.bullocks2ndgradeclassroom]

Destination Greatness is our school's theme for the 2024-2025 school year. Our admin had the t-shirt for us on the first day of preplanning. I do not know where it came from, but I will see if I can find out. Thanks so much for watching!

Those were ordered from a company called Takedown360...looks like they probably only deal with bulk orders.

As I was looking around their website, I saw that our school system is listed under their "case studies" section so that is probably where our school got the name from. My friend who is involved in the ordering said that we have ordered from them for several years...they tell the company the "look" and theme that they are going after and they put it together.
