Morning Baskets

Kindergarten is all about hands-on learning. One way we like to do that is by allowing students to explore and manipulate different things right away in the morning to get their brains thinking. Each morning, students walk in, put their things away and get right to their table spots where a basket is waiting for them. In these baskets are things like letter LEGOS, number sorting cards, letter matching cards, pattern blocks, geoboards, or other themed activities. These morning activities not only get them ready to learn for the day but it also provides them an opportunity to chat with their table mates and practice taking turns.
