As a teacher I love coming to school. However, arriving to school on time and ready to learn can be a challenge for some of my 1st grade students. We spend our day learning, reading, writing, singing, listening, and processing in Spanish and English. My students engage in hard work! This can be overwhelming at times, so I want to create a morning routine that students will strive to get to on time, and without feeling anxious or worried about. They will anticipate the opportunity to make choices as soon as they walk in the classroom. A cooperative game with a peer? A quiet sensory tub to allow a little more time for waking up? An engineering project with a team of fellow scientists? Bead lacing to focus on the details? These choices will empower students to take charge of their learning from the moment they walk in the door, create a peaceful transition to the academic day, and give students a positive reason to get to school on time! The morning motivators will include STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) activities, fine-motor kits, cooperative games, and other projects that students will be eager to engage in early in the morning. Mark Twain once said, "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first." Well, I don't want my students to dread eating any frogs when they arrive at school in the morning! I want to start the day off right!
