Morning Work!

In our class, we have a very "strict" Morning Work routine! By now, every student in our class has learned the Morning Work Routine and some are able to complete it independently.

Today was the first day that LaShawn completed this routine independently. He came right in and began unpacking his book bag!! We were very proud of him!

After unpacking their book bags, taking all of their papers out of their folders, putting everything in the correct place, and checking their daily schedule, each student is required to go to their seat and begin working on their morning work. Yesterday, Joyria did an EXCELLENT job on her morning work. She took her work very seriously and did an excellent job on it! After every line that she traced by herself, I (Ms. Malcom) very excitedly clapped for her! She loved this individual attention and was also very proud of herself!

In the picture below, Ms. Higdon and Enoch work on one of the Independent Work boxes. Enoch's task was to sort the chips by color! He did an excellent job!

Of course after we finish our work we are allowed to be silly! Mr. Michael and Claire build a tower out of the shape blocks!


I am so proud of all of our students for their hard work learning the Morning Routine! It definitely begins our school day on a very positive note!
