Description
Strong classroom routines are the foundation of a successful school year. This back-to-school lesson teaches students how to get ready for learning with a structured morning routine using explicit instruction, teacher modelling, and the gradual release of responsibility. With both a ready-to-use and editable version included, you can easily customise the steps to establish your morning routine exactly how you want it in your classroom.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
⭐ Explicit, Ready-to-Teach Transition Routine Lesson:

⭐ Fully Editable Lesson Slides:
- Easily customise your morning routine to fit your classroom expectations or whole-school procedures. Every step is editable, so you can adapt the routine to suit your students’ needs and create the exact steps you would like your students to follow.
