Start simple. Start strong.
Teach the routine, free the lesson.
The opening weeks of school shape everything that follows. Our digital library gives you practical, classroom-ready resources for helping young children begin their learning journey with trust, clarity, and joy.
“I used the arrival routine and attention signal scripts the first week. By Wednesday, we were starting lessons three minutes earlier—every block. The visuals do the heavy lifting.”

“The early numeracy centers stopped the waiting lines. My students talk more math and finish more work, and transitions are quieter. The setup photos were a lifesaver.”

“Family cards changed everything. Caregivers finally knew exactly how to help, and our morning melt-downs dropped by half. Clear, kind language that actually fits busy homes.”

Less chaos, more curiosity.
What we do
We build ready-to-teach teacher guides for the first six to eight weeks of school. Each resource targets a real task you face at the beginning of the year and shows you exactly how to do it:
Build early numeracy through talk and play (counting collections, subitizing, comparing sets, math vocabulary, ten-frames).
Launch daily routines (arrival, materials, attention signals, transitions, clean-up, and dismissal) so the class flows without constant reminders.
Start early literacy the right way (listening skills, phonological awareness, print concepts, letter formation, shared reading, decodables).
How our resources work

First Weeks Routine Toolkit
Everything needed to teach the “how we move and learn here” basics: attention signals with gestures, hallway and carpet expectations, handoff systems for materials, and a tidy-up routine that finishes on time. Includes a one-page daily plan for week 1 and week 2, plus a “rain plan” for indoor days.
Early Reading Launch Kit
Playful listening games, sound isolation activities, shared reading slides, and first decodable lines with teacher prompts (“Tap, Blend, Read”). Letter formation cards use simple paths and verbal cues that match early fine-motor skills. Quick checks help you spot who needs a second round.
Numbers Through Talk & Play
Ten-frame flashes, counting collections, compare-and-explain tasks, and math talk stems. Centers are tray-based to avoid traffic jams, and each activity includes an “easier/harder” toggle for mixed readiness.
Frequently asked
- Are these resources editable? Yes—editable and print-ready versions are included.
- Do they fit district policies? They’re written to be adapted; notes flag common policy considerations.
- How long does setup take? Most items prep in 10–20 minutes once downloaded.
- Do I need special materials? No. Paper, markers, simple manipulatives, and a printer or projector are enough.
About us
We are a small team of classroom teachers, instructional coaches, speech-language pathologists, and school psychologists who have taught in diverse communities. We gathered the routines, scripts, and visuals that worked across many first weeks and turned them into clean, flexible resources you can trust. Our aim is simple: give teachers back their time and give children a welcoming start.
We test every guide in real rooms with real schedules. If something takes too long to set up, it gets simplified. If language feels shaming or confusing, it gets rewritten. If a strategy only works in perfect conditions, it’s replaced with one that works on a rainy Monday after a fire drill.
Calm classrooms grow brave learners.
Ready to begin?
Pick one area to simplify first—routines, early reading, early math, SEL, family partnership, inclusion, or evidence. Download the guide, post the visuals, and try a short sequence tomorrow. When the room begins to run itself, there’s more time for wonder, words, and numbers.
