For years, I used daily worksheets as morning work. And, I constantly found myself running from student to student to provide extra support… all while trying to finish the typical morning duties.

It was not fun!

In fact, it was exhausting!

I couldn’t keep up with the students who needed help, which as you can imagine, left many disengaged students sitting idle.

After much brainstorming on how I could make my mornings easier and our morning work more meaningful, I decided to implement Fine Motor Morning Tubs.

Talk about instant gamechanger!

​My kiddos were engaged… learning… and building fine motor skills!
