I just got my monthly newsletter from Vegetarians.com (or some such site). It asked an intriguing question that got me thinking. The question was: What do you eat for breakfast? I spent a good thirty minutes scrolling through the answers. I wondered, what are my students eating for breakfast (the most important meal of the day). Moreover, what is their morning routine like. I know many of them eat at school, but what are they doing at home. Here are a few things that you can make sure are part of their morning routines.
- Use the restroom (so many come to school, not having gone all morning and we don't break for the restroom until 9:40)
- Drink a glass of juice or milk (even if they eat at school this can go a long way building up their immune system)
- Brush teeth
- Wash face
- Make sure everything is in backpack
- Fix bed
- Put on lotion
TIP: Make a list of things to do in the morning and post it on the bathroom mirror or fridge. Remind them to follow the routine each morning and reward them for their accomplishments.
