Arrival time at schools is always hectic. Students file in at different paces. Teachers are always faced with the dilemma of what to do with students when they first arrive. Usually teachers assign "morning work." They may call it by other fancy names, but essentially they will assign a worksheet for students to complete upon arrival. But then they are faced with the problem of what to do about late arrivals or absences. Is morning work worth the hassle? Morning Tubs will eliminate the fuss of morning work, but still give kids the opportunity to practice important social and academic skills. Each tub will have an activity such as making change, building something with blocks, or writing unique stories. This alternative will free me to take attendance and work with my students one-on-one as they arrive instead of the headache of helping with worksheets. These activities are designed to allow students a little bit of "play" time, while still learning! Students will be expected synergize with their peers in selecting the tub they wish to work on for the day. Activities such as making change, creating words with bananagrams, and writing with story cubes will have kids practicing important academic skills. Other activities like play-doh, blocks, and spirograph will gives students the opportunity to have structured, hands-on play time. (They ARE kids after all!) Morning tubs will be beneficial to both my students and myself to get our days started off on a positive note.
