Complete bundle · $4.50 · less than a fancy coffeeYou have 24 new names to learn, a room to finish setting up, a schedule that's changed three times, and a class that walks in Monday morning expecting you to have a plan. The last thing you need is to figure out, hour by hour, what to actually do with them.
So you spend your last free weekend of summer building a first week from scratch — when it could already be sitting printed on your desk.

Age-appropriate sentence frames that set a growth-mindset tone before curriculum starts.
A teacher-editable daily schedule that ends the "what's next?" questions.
An illustrated rules poster students co-sign on Day 1 — PBIS Tier 1 community ownership.
12 first-week conversation starters — 10–15 minutes of connection, no script.
An editable slide to project as students arrive — chaos drops to curiosity.
