Morning Work

I made die-cut frogs for our tree this month :)
I added cards from HERE.
 

Check out my post all about these drawing cards HERE.
I have used these cards from pre-k through 5th grade & 6th graders :)

Calm Down Time

 Each month, I change out tools in our calm-down area. 

Take a look at my area HERE.

I kept the two books there the whole time. I also 

have a library shelf available with books.

I needed to come up with some monthly breathing exercises 

to change out each month as well.


Hop over here to grab a free sample.



When I first introduced this to my students this year, someone in the next classroom was really struggling with their emotions.
One of my students said that they needed to do some "turkey breathing."
I did chuckle a bit because I had just made it up for our class.
I then agreed with them that our neighbor indeed needed to do some 
"turkey breathing" :)

Morning Bins: April




Frogs on a log.
We've used these frogs before, and now I've added the cards. 
The cards get harder. There are three different levels.
Basic is shown below.
Some are missing the last frogs.
Some are different sizes.
They are Funtastic Frogs from the 1990's from Carson Dellosa.





Q-tip but I used them as pokey-pins.
I have this whole unit.
I can't remember which exactly unit it was in.
