My students write a brief morning message every morning as they arrive. It goes like this: Good morning _____. Today is _____. Today we will _____ and ______. Tomorrow - ___________. Most of my students finish this within about 10 minutes and than they move on to their morning folders. The other day searching around on Pinterest, I saw this cute idea of kids writing with paint and a Qtip. So yesterday morning before the kids arrived, I set them up with the materials they would need to try this. They really did love it. It took such huge concentration and they were sooooo quiet, lol. I guess it's good to change things up every once in awhile. Might have to think of some other new ideas!
