Structure Your School Morning Routine and Make it Stick!

Starting the day off with a well-crafted morning routine can tremendously impact student success and engagement. We know the importance of structure and consistency in a child’s day, and a thoughtfully planned morning routine can offer just that. By creating a series of tasks that are purposeful and predictable, we develop a sense of comfort for our students, making it more manageable for them to transition from home to the classroom. A morning routine also allows students to ease into the day, helping them regulate their emotions and sharpen their focus on what lies ahead. Starting each day with positivity can set the tone for a classroom that promotes learning, growth, and success for everyone. These printable bookmarks are the ideal tool to help you do that!
