Back at the school, some time after the meeting had ended, I was busy setting up how I'll be introducing myself to the students back at my classroom. I'll be teaching Robotics, Game Developing, and Animation this year. When I was done, I headed home as there wasn't much else to do. Tomorrow was the first day of school. I ended up arriving 30 minutes prior to first period beginning and went to my classroom.

I checked to see if my stuff is in tact and they were. I had them on the ready. I took my seat then opened my briefcase and took out my tablet then closed the case and put it under my desk. I put my feet on the desk while leaning back on my chair. I turned my tablet on and checked my digital file containing notes of what I'm going to say along with some other things.

Cody: Alright, I got everything I want to say ready along with some other things. I could "practice" a little more but I seem to be more than ready. Now what should I do now?

I put the tablet away then pulled out my Gameboy Advance and played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team on it. When it was time for students to enter the classroom, they did so. I was still playing on my Gameboy Advance but while students were entering, they did the usual stuff like socializing. Some tried to turn the computers on but they didn't turn on. I waited for the bell to ring and when it did, I put the Gameboy Advance away. I called upon the class' attention and did attendance before starting things off.

Cody: Alright everyone, welcome to your first day in Strife Academy. My name is Mr. Cipher and welcome to my Robotics Class where you learn how to make robots. Now I know it sounds complicated and I know but robots aren't that complicated, unless you make them to be that way. Actually they still are but just, let's get into the simple stuff first before we go into the more complicated stuff.

I talked about what to expect in the subject along with demonstrating some of my bots while also answering some of my student's questions. I also told them some stuff about what to expect in this school (in my opinion) along with stuff like the rules. I started things off by making them do an essay on a piece of paper about "What kind of robot would you like to build?" and mentioning some criteria and what stuff not to do before they got started.

Cody: The essay is going to be your first quarter grade. You can start now if you want or do it later... or don't but that'll go against you. Actually, if you don't even bother to do it then I don't know what to say apart from: "You're off to a great start this year."

The students got to doing their essay. What I expect my students is to do in my class is do your very best like no one ever was or at least try to show some effort or something. Show me what you can do and whatever you do, if you're going to fail, try to make you're going to make that fail into a pass.

There I started the first day of school off... You could go and mention what else was going on at the time or whatever. Just remember to make sure that you don't end up ruining the flow of the story.
