1. Hold your ground with students in a positive manner. Saying no is not always a bad thing. I can always say no by saying: "yes, when..." or "yes, as soon as..." or "yes, in/at (time)..."
2. Classroom management starts with prevention, but I need to have strategies for intervention when the prevention falls through.
3. Delay the answer to a why by having kids approach you with the "why" question once you get everyone started on their work.

These are all really great strategies and I hope they make being a first year teacher a little less stressful. Hope you have a wonderful first day.
