Morning work time is a time that children can work independently.
With this morning work with Santa your children will be Santa’s Little Elf’s by helping Santa sort shapes, numbers, beginning sounds and winter rhymes in his toy shop.

Feeling Thankful
I feel so thankful for all of you and the support that you give me here on my little tiny piece of the web.
 
After my post on Morning Work Time I had a lot of questions on where they could find the fall tree morning work mats that I featured. 

So...

Here they are for FREE,

​​and a whole lot of thank-you to all of you.

Morning Work Time

Arrival time in the morning with parents dropping off and children putting away their belongings can turn hectic in a blink of an eye. 

but...

if you have morning work time in place with different activities a hectic time can turn into a well oiled machine.  

Only Open Certain Areas

Picture
Only have a few areas open so that the children have the opportunity to select what they would like to do first thing in the morning.

​I like to select areas that are near our parent sign in area so that I can over see the activities and still be able to greet parents and children as they arrive. ​
Picture
Have two tables set up and ready to go before children arrive with different hands on learning activities.

One of our favorite morning work time activities is our craft stick letter formation trays.  

The children like to match colors from picture card to form letters on a sheet of felt.  

or by placing the craft sticks directly over the card to form the letter.
And

The craft stick I can make numbers is another class favorite.  

With this activity children are able to learn about counting and making number amounts by tallying.  
Picture
I always like to set out activities in the morning that will promote fine motor development, like pinch and cover activities.

Include activities for varying skills. This will give all your children an opportunity to select an activity that is right for them.

I like to include 

Number recognition
Counting
and​
Beginning Sounds sound activities.

In my room if I don't have something out for writing and drawing in the morning I would crash and burn.  Every year I have a group of children that could write and draw all day long, so I make sure that there is a table or area out in the morning that will allow those children to do what they love most. 
Picture
Every morning I also set out something that they can use to build and construct with, to help keep those little hands busy and engaged until we begin our day.

You can find all of these activities here.​
