It frees me up in the morning instead of having to do a lesson as soon as the kids get there, especially since they don't all arrive at the same time. I will email you some stuff!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676858328856397074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558635907609943651.post-28373483050740620452014-03-19T20:34:58.685-07:002014-03-19T20:34:58.685-07:00Hi Karen!

I teach middle school essential skills. Like RTotty, I struggle with getting ready ahead of time. I, too, am going to email you about this topic. I love how you have it planned out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303359958382400751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558635907609943651.post-80584811162374355912014-02-23T15:08:16.638-08:002014-02-23T15:08:16.638-08:00Hi, I have mentioned them in the past a couple tim...Hi, I have mentioned them in the past a couple times. If you type in "folders" in my search box it will give you a few of them. Basically, my morning are pretty chaotic. The kids arrive sporadically over a 45 minute period starting at 7:40. Then some have jobs, some need to eat, so to try to do a lesson before we have our arranged activity at 9:15 is impossible to say the least. What they do now is grab their folders as soon as they get to class. They work on one lesson per day inside their folders. Some even have to finish after their lunch but they really enjoy the lessons and never complain. They are functional academics and each month consists of money, time, calendar, measuring, math, language arts, holiday fun stuff etc. You can see the example above of what we will be doing in March and April. I can send you a couple of the examples we are doing this month if you like.

I'm interested in knowing more about your morning folders - how you set them up, what goes in them, etc. Have you posted about them before?RTottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375159564217015754noreply@blogger.com
