First Day of School. What do I do?

The video tutorial describes a unique first-day classroom activity where students are taken outside to alphabetize themselves by last name. The teacher films each student introducing themselves, stating their preferred name, pronouns, and a word. This activity serves multiple purposes: it acts as an icebreaker, helps with attendance, aids in name pronunciation, and assists the teacher in memorizing student names. The video is also used throughout the year to refresh the teacher's memory and is shown on the last day of classes for reflection.
