It's time to go back to high school.Students are excited about the new beginning.But for many kids，the first day is more about friends than classes，and maybe with good reasjye.ai.On that day，the teacher takes attendance（考勤），hands out books，and describes the teaching plan.If a student hears the same things in seven classes，you can't blame（責(zé)備） them for thinking it's going to be another long year.When the high schoolers' parents ask what they did in school，it's pretty likely that the answer will be"Nothing."
    It doesn't have to be this way.Kids always want exciting changes，and you can give them a taste of how appealing your course will be.One English teacher asks students to write 77 words about what they want to get out of her class.Then she reads their responses out aloud.She keeps the responses until the last day of the school year.Finally she hands them back to students so that they can see if they achieved what they wanted.After encouraging kids with a year-long game，she begins the English course.
    On the first day of science，a teacher gives students 30 minutes to build something to improve people's lives.A history teacher organizes a debate on whether Swiss cheese is better than cheddar.In math class，another teacher puts students in groups of three，and gives them six minutes to come up with as many answers as possible to the question， "What is math good for？"
    The new class activities are part of our school wide movement to improve the first day of classes.Many teachers choose to use creative ways to encourage kids from day one.And all students seem to enjoy the changes.Quite a few parents told me that their kids said， "I think English （ or math or biology or Spanish） is going to be great!"
