In his ebook The First Month of School, Steve discusses how important it is for elementary teachers to emphasize four priorities at the beginning of each school year. In this fourth episode of the “Teach the Whole Child” podcast, he narrows his focus to the first hour of school and describes how he begins to address two of these priorities during this critical time. Specifically, Steve shares what the first hour of each new school year looks like in his elementary classroom and explains what he and his students do and why they do it.
