 * Describe Lesson Steps:**
 * “Each day when you arrive, it will be your job to check in on our days of the week chart, find your name on the white board to place under hot or cold lunch, get your folder and book bag out of your backpack, and begin morning work on the table.”**
 * Teach morning routine of checking in on 7-day graph. Students find their name as they arrive for school and mark an “x” in the box next to their name in the correct day’s column. (Later in the year I put a letter at the top of the graph for them to use signing in or a sight word to reinforce.)
 * Teach routine of getting items out of their backpack (take-home folder, book bag, lunch box) and hanging up outside clothes.
 * Teach routine of students going to the white board and moving magnetic-backed name to a t-graph to identify hot or cold lunch.
 * Teach routine of going to table to complete morning work until the pledge happens after checking in.
