A soft start offers a time to bridge between the whirlwind of arriving at school and the social, mental, and academic demands of the day. This time will give students the opportunity to transition to a school environment and build community with their peers. It offers a time for students to interact with their peers, learn and play, while also completing classroom morning routines (such as putting backpacks away, washing hands, etc.) When thinking about the mental, emotional, and social/emotional states of my students, there is not an equal or balanced starting point. This is the importance of offering choice and space. Soft starts allow students to practice mindfulness and habits of well-being that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
