#Classroom #routines and #procedures

Morning Routine

- How to politely enter and exit the classroom

- How and when to turn in homework, homework folder, or parent notes

- Where to put packed lunch

- Where to put backpack, coat, etc.

- How to do lunch count if your school does that

- How to do attendance if they help with that (in my Fun Teaching Graphing Ideas blog post, I show how to use a daily graphing question to help take attendance which is also math practice and a fun way to start calendar later in the day)

- What to do after they’ve put away their backpack, done lunch count, etc. (have a specific task like start morning work or start morning tubs)

You’re also freaking out because you have no idea how to set up your tables, how you’re going to organize centers, etc.
