105 ¦ Relationships, relatedness and routines: The second week of the year

Part two in the three part mini series on starting the year strong and building a motivated classroom: In this episode we look at what happens in week two of the school year, once we have done the admin tasks in week one and set out some basic routines. Specifically I discuss the first picture talk of the year, the first time we push all the chairs back and focus on intent listening , how we build our free reading library, how we reinforce routines daily and what (if any) tasks are given as home contact with the language.
