Morning Routine

 When the students arrive in the morning they have a very predictable routine each day.  The students bring in their take home folders to our basket, sign up for their milk and snack choices, complete their wake up work, then make a good quiet choice.  The choices include read to self, read to someone, shop for books, get their materials organized and ready for the day, or draw in their notebooks.  Once everyone has completed their wake up work, they hear our morning song come on which signals that it's time for our morning meeting.  The students gather on the rug to say good morning to each other, share news and take questions from classmates, and discuss our schedule for the day.  This is a great way for us to start our day!
