I figured out the first day activities - Bucket Fillers!  I have done this in the past, but I think with this class it will help them focus on what they should (besides academics of course) - how they treat each other.  I think that this is a very important lesson.  I read on one of the websites that it is also a good idea to involve parents and home time in this activity.  So, now I can start working on my first day activities.  I cannot wait to see my kiddos again!
