I must say I have the cutest little people on the planet this year! A lot of three year olds this year (which I love) which means it might take a little longer to get down to basics to establishing classroom management!
The first day for centers I had water colors for art, computers open, dramatic play, dry erase boards markers and letter dice for writing, colored school manipulatives for math and discovery boards for science, blocks open, library open! I kept centers same for a couple days switched to play dough, and rotated math manipulatives. We had a few criers the first few days but by day three everyone had smiles! At circle time I went over class schedule, introduced jobs, we sang Hickety pickety bumble bee and the bean bag dance! Then I introduced centers, how to ask for a turn, and showed them the timer when it would be time to clean-up!
During centers I sat with students and got to know them asking them questions about their family, and what they like!
At story we read these books! 
We took a tour of the classroom going over all the different centers, then toured the school as well! We may do it all again next week! Repetition is key in pre-k!
