We discuss 2004 Elementary School Journal article The First Days of School in the Classrooms of Two More Effective and Four Less Effective Primary-Grades Teachers by Bohn, Roehrig, and Pressley. The article can be accessed here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/3202942?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

In a nutshell? Teachers practices in the first few days of the school year set the foundation for subsequent student motivation and achievement throughout the year.
