The First Days of School by Harry K. Wong and Rosemary T. Wong has some really good incites to the beginning of the year with your students. It covers a broad range of subjects. It will help you set up the routines in your classroom. I saw the videos for the book quite a few years ago. They were helpful.

Christine,
I thought of another one that I enjoyed reading more than the one I previously suggested. It is called Teaching Outside of the Box: How to Grab Your Students by Their Brains by LouAnne Johnson. You will love that read! The other book I suggested is very practical and lays things out so nicely. (It is kind of dry though.) Whereas, this one is excellent!

I hope you'll read my new book, Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age. It takes an optimistic view of what we can accomplish with inspired, collaborative teaching using new technologies.
Learn more at the Reinventing blog. The book and the blog chronicle the adventures and tap into the thinking of some of the best educators around.
