How can I help my students get used to the new school?

Gingerbread Treasure Hunt

On the first or second day of school, have a treasure hunt for the children to help learn about the lay out of your school. The night before, bake a large gingerbread person (the entire size of a cookie sheet). Hide this in the school kitchen (or any other room - discuss with the staff beforehand). The day of the treasure hunt read the story of the gingerbread boy. Next, tour the school asking each classroom if they've seen a missing gingerbread person. After locating the missing gingerbread person, return to the classroom and eat this treat.
