Why not invite all those nervous parents in for first 10 minutes to talk with them, putting their minds at ease? Have the iPod playing calming music in the background. Share with them a few details about how your classroom day will be directed. Remind them of lunchtime visitation, volunteering, and end of the day procedures. Encourage those extra hugs and kisses “good-bye” afterward. Doing this with a smile on your face, will equate to a placing a million dollar deposit into your ”classroom bank account”!
