The class always opens with a **__morning message__**. A morning message is a statement from a teacher, written to the students about the upcoming day’s events. The morning message is also a replacement for worksheets. It is a way that students will not feel overwhelmed with having to do a worksheet, but still be tested mentally.

Thinking of different ways for the students to line up when leaving the classroom is a lot of fun and motivating for students as well! It stretches the children’s creativity levels. Some great ideas for line-ups could be: __Attention Grabbers__ How will you get the students’ attention in class? What are some of the methods you could use to get their attention?
