Morning Drawers

Mornings can be a little busy in kindergarten. Students may not even be fully awake yet but a full day of learning is starting. I need them to come in and get to work relatively quickly, quietly, and independently so that I can handle all of the issues that pop up in the morning. Ideally, I also want them engaged, excited, and working on important skills. Our Morning Work Drawers fulfill ALL of those things! Students come in and find their name on a drawer then pull that drawer out and get to work. Each drawer works on an important skill like number, letter, and name recognition, sight word knowledge, patterns, counting, etc. But perhaps more importantly the drawers all work on fine motor skills that are often weak in today’s students. They are excited about all of the fun finds in their drawers and I am excited about all of the hard work that they are doing before 8:00 in the morning!
