Empezar el año escolar con buen pie es muy importante. El principio del curso es un poco estresante tanto para el profesor como para los alumnos. Podemos conocer a algunos estudiantes y a otros no. Algunos niños/as pueden ser totalmente nuevos y no conocer a ninguno de sus compañeros y otros tener los mismos compañeros del curso anterior. La primera semana es muy importante para dejar establecidas las normas y el tono correcto de trabajo que regirá para todo el año.
The first day of School (Poem)
I wondered and I wondered
When I could go to school.
They said I wasn’t old enough
According to the rule.
I waited and I waited,
I was patient as could be.
And now I’m all excited …
It’s time for school for me!
September is here.
September is here.
School’s begun and we’ll have fun,
September is here.
I Like To Go To School (Melody: To: «Farmer in the Dell»)

I like to sing new songs.
Heigh-ho-the-derry-oh,
I like to sing new songs.
I like to play with friends.
I like to play with friends.
Heigh-ho-the-derry-oh,
I like to play with friends.

Class Rules (Poem)
We raise our hands to speak.
We work quietly at our seats.
We use voices soft and sweet.
We keep our places tidy and neat.
We are helpful, friendly, and fair.
We take turns and willingly share.
(Este poema lo imprimo a gran tamaño y lo tengo expuesto todo el año)
Important Rules (Melody: “Twinkle, Twinkle”)
Sing Along 11
Here are some rules for you and me,
See how important they can be.
Always be honest, be kind and fair,
Always be good and willing to share.
These are rules we all should know,
We follow these rules wherever we go.
Rules Rap
Rules can be helpful,
Rules can be good.
They help us behave,
The way we should.
We follow the rules,
And we don’t do wrong.
The world’s a happier place
When we all get along.

To play and to learn things each day, each day.
I’m at school now,
To hear what the teacher will say.
I bought all my pencils and crayons ~
And markers I got at the store.
I got some new clothes and a backpack,
And I know what all this is for!

I’m glad that it’s school time at last!
