Mondays……..are usually “fun days” for my class as usually over the weekend i have thought of some new rearranging ideas or some new craft ideas. The kids are usually excited to see what new fun or crazy thing i have thought of.
Hi Diane
Yea Monday! Or should it be a “Mailbox Monday?” Students are usually SO quiet on Monday mornings, but I’m always happy to see their smiling faces.
Sometimes Mondays are difficult in the morning because children come back so excited after their long weekend.
I actually prefer Monday’s! I feel like both my student’s and I are refreshed and ready to take on another week!
Thanks for all the ideas. I love finding new ways to keep Mondays from being the most dreaded day of the week.
I love to see all the creative ideas for making Mondays better! It doesn’t always have to be the rough start to a week!
Love the Mailbox books!!
Monday afternoons seem long in my room because we don’t have specials like every other day of the week. Instead my 4th graders fill the time by reading and working with students in first grade. We call them their “buddies”. They have really enjoyed being a role model and building a relationship with them and the first graders get the same relationship and one more chance to work with someone one-on-one. It is a great experience for them all!
We call them Marvelous Mondays at my school. The kids come in eager and ready to learn. I come in refreshed from the weekend and ready to teach. All in all, they really are Marvelous Mondays.
I agree with “Claire”! Mondays are hectic! But I try to make them “Happy Mondays”. The children are usually tired but are happy to be at school.Thank Goodness! That’s usually half the battle!
We love Mondays in our kindergarten. We have started calling them “Math Mondays.” Although we obviously do math activities all week, we take some time on Monday mornings to learn new math games, or to do a special math activity.
LOVE your books! Just placed an order today.
