Okay, so I am going back and posting a third blog for week 5. There is a little bit of conflicting information on the Blackboard page. The Assignments link says two blogs a week and I over-looked the part in the Week 5 course materials that said three a week!
I am so deeply sorry for the delay!!! Here is goes -
Morning routines are a HUGE part of starting a successful day in a room full of Kindergarten students! The student come into the classroom and know exactly what to expect, exactly what to do,and exactly where to be.
In the article, "Beginnings Matter: Morning Routines", the author, Kathleen, goes through and details how her morning run! She uses charts and Interactive Whiteboard screens and paper and pencils to keep the students on track, yet productive. The students are busy putting away their own belongings (being responsible), making choices about their lunch for the day, working on penmanship, patience, etc., etc. I could just keep on going and going!
The BIG Back to school BBQ is less then three weeks away for me! Time to get that morning routine down to a science!
Happy Planning!
