Here is a rough idea of when and how I plan to implement Power Teaching during my first week. I'm not including explanations of what all the jargon means, as I don't want to be redundant. I've put links on the sidebar that describe Power Teaching in detail.
Monday (no students): Print signs, reorganize room.
Tuesday: Change seats, intro Power Teaching (I'm selling it as a more advanced behavior system that I think they are ready for and that will prepare them for fourth grade), teach Class-Yes, Rules, Teach-OK, Scoreboard (I will do one scoreboard for the day to begin with, and the prize will start out as Beat the Teacher, a math game that the kids already know and like). Start using Teach-OK during academics, such as introducing weekly vocab words. Try to work It's Cool (I'm bound to screw up plenty of times) and Hands and Eyes.
Wednesday: Review all content form Tuesday, intro several routines (papers, line, desks, seats), tell them their numbers (1, 2), and teach them Switch. Teach It's Cool and Hands and Eyes if I didn't have time the day before.
Thursday: Review, intro Superspeed 1000.
Friday: Review.
