Morning Check In
Each morning when my little ones come to school they have
five responsibilities for morning Check In.
1.
Put your water bottles in the kitchen area.
2. Put
your folder on my table.
3.
Put your backpack on the floor of your
locker.
4. Hang
up your jacket.
5.
Sign in for the day.
Sign In for the day is very important. It is a great way for my little ones to
practice writing their names. My little ones put their names in this pocket
chart each morning. It is a quick way
for me to scan and see who is here.
The top slip is the first day of school sample and the
bottom slip is the ninth day of school sample.
You can already see some improvement from some of the
mini lessons we have had so far. The purple marks you see are my corrections. I try to correct in front of each child and talk about how he/she can improve one thing each day.
Each Quarter the Check In process changes:
Q1: Practice
printing first name
Q2: Practice
printing first and last name
Q3: First and last
name and phone number
Q4: First and last
name
Phone number
Address

Do the kids sign in with a notebook or loose leaf sheets? I love your idea.... I tried last year they worked on one letter each week and I had the remaining letters printed on the computer.....lots of work for two sessions. Love the owl theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela for reading TVBK. I have the children sign in on individual sheets that way I could easily correct them and send them home each week. I did run the handwriting lines back to back so that I did not waste paper. I find that when you work on some type of handwriting each day the children's handwriting looks good.
