[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach 9th grade and I like transition day because it allows the kids to navigate their schedules in a less crowded setting so they don't get lost on the 1st day. Other than that, I don't really care either way because I don't do any actual instruction until the 2nd week of school anyway. That whole first week is dedicated to icebreakers, classroom policies and expectations, etc. Too many kids get shuffled around that first week to where I don't waste my time until the dust settles.[/quote] They did the same thing for years by having the 1/2 day orientation day during preservice week. Kids still did their schedules, toured the building, met the administration, etc. No need to do it for a full day that does not count as a school day and takes one of our emergency days.[/quote]
