How to Set Up and Use Morning Tubs

do you get tired of making copies all the time for your morning work you want a new idea stay tuned and I'll show you how to set up some morning tabs so you can use in your classroom hello I'm going to show you guys today my morning my morning cups so I have my morning - well how the mind has work is instead of having morning work my students will have these tubs on their desk and they're just filled with activities so I don't have them make we don't make copies I have to do so you know to do morning work sheets and stuff so this one here can I engage it engages them a little bit more because it's fun but then also I throw some educational steps here so I'll kind of show you can do a mix since it's the first week of school our first full week anyways and they keep the same bins for a whole month so what happens is on Monday I will pass out all the bins and put them on each script so I have five grapes so I have five bits so I'll put them out and I usually put a tub one with grip one tub to grip tube and then the next day I have paper passers that are for each group and they go over and grab a different bin so they're grabbing have been they haven't done before and then you keep doing this until they've gone through all the bins for the whole week then the following week I don't change out the bins again they just are totally a process again so they'll end up doing the same tub about four times usually depending on the month so if it's a month that has a holiday or something in it then one group may only did three times so but so for the first week of school all I did so I have them labeled tub one that was like tub three I just labeled them with some card stock and I just taped them on and you can use any kind tubs these ones here just those kind of like Sterilite tubs the shoebox tubs and I decided windows TL color so and each one like you just put it in different activities so some of the stuff is kind of fun and they're kind of like play ones because there's some of the manipulatives and items that we use in our classroom the kids want to play with so this is the perfect opportunity for them to play with it because they're not stressing about oh you need to be doing it this way or you need to be doing it that way it's just you do what you need to do with it and so it kind of engages them a little bit more and it makes them so I just think us at the Box mark because a lot of times I want to give directions on what they're supposed to do I'll just give them a tub and however they play with it they play with it but like in our tub one I have these puzzle pieces and there's the number number of puzzle pieces that came from the target dollar spot so they just and I think I mean I know my heart is tells a ton of them left so they're just puzzle pieces so the kids will play with those are been - I can't find bitten - this has these foam padding blocks in it so it again they can put the shape together or they can stack them they can make someone kids like make towers and sandwiches on them I don't care negative stress in the morning trying to make sure my kids are doing exactly what they're supposed to and this way here they are engaged they're working with each other and it's not really because they're we have breakfast in the house in many ways so it's not like they're really it's really part of our curriculum but I still try to use so like they're going an introduction to these 2d shape blogs 2d block or how do pieces and so so they can do what they want if they want to use it and stick on you know this shapes on top of them and try to make this shape with other shapes that's fine if they just want to make them make a sandwich of it that's fine thank you so and that was the table then three has these kind of all kraut pieces and you got to read the words and stick the velcro pieces on and there's four of them in here for the different vowel sounds and they'll just rotate so what's one finishes one don't ask a friend at their table case where you can use yours and you can use money so they did that and they actually really enjoy that one this one here came from a special education and I will see if I can link that down below so you guys know where to get that one out I think they can make a different one the cameras are all the same or not but then I buy my velcro pieces from Amazon when they come in like a rolled like five hundred or something for is similar to bin one but it's using letters so their powder their puzzle pieces with letters same thing they did share it and work together and the last one or on my kids favorite one it's the connecting cubes so and again they can build whatever they want to build with it so as long as it's appropriate for school because they don't you guys or any of that kind stuff but they can build whatever they want because a lot of times we'll use these as counting tools but the my kids want to play with them so this is the opportunity put into play and I get to kind of helps get it out of their system so I will have all of these like I said they'll be out and I actually set them on our Promethean Board over here on there I'll show you in a second but so I have them set over on the Promethean Board so the first day on Monday all the kids I'll put them out and then the next day they'll just go and grab them and use them when they need them if there's any fighting over the materials or any of that stuff I mean the paper pushers ones that selecting the band so I shouldn't have any issues there and I won't have any like if they were what they're fighting at their tables I will not they when I get to play with it so if I have any patio mister takes I've been away and they can start their hands up that's it and I've had an issue yet but it's only the first wave is cool so we'll see how that goes and then after the four weeks are up I will switch them out for new bins usually I like to do them as an introduction into something that we're getting ready to do so I might do some that are introduction saying like I might throw in some clocks so they we have one clocks yet or time and I saw during the clocks they'll get the plan with the clocks and kind of introduce to the clock speed how they work those kind of things but then I also do review so I'll throw some review stuff like the letters and the numbers are kind of kindergarten so I review this so for first grade so but I'll show you where we put them out all the math bins go right here on the Promethean Board so they just the kids will come over and they just set them down and they'll go in order okay so let me show you that so there you go that's a little set and then since the kids started with tub one and they're at Group one then they'll know that the next day don't grab that what and then usually I'm figuring out which ones they've already had which ones they have Ted so so hopefully that explains a little bit more about what we do with our morning tubs they are really easy to set up and they're really easy for the kids to use there's not a lot of there's no prep work really for me except for throwing us some items for them to play with in use in our classroom so we go do go over some things like about how the set that we use are actually tools or not toys so yeah you might be kind of playing with them but there are actually tools for you to learn with seeing I hope that this is going to help you see an easier way to set up your morning's and I'm sure you can probably do these up in average - I mean I'm sure it's not just a primary grade thing you probably use these in the bigger grades I do have a Pinterest board about mourning tubs if you want to see more about them I will go ahead and leave a link to my Pinterest down below so that way you guys will have that and also my Instagram acuity follow me on there and my teachers pay teacher's store and I'll also laid the link to especially education to see if you want to get those velcro pieces -
