Join me as I guide you step-by-step through a treasure trove of ideas, activities, and strategies curated for that memorable first day of class. Grab a warm cafecito or your favorite beverage, and let's dive in. You'll leave with practical and actionable ideas to make your first day a magical experience for both you and your students.
