August Morning Tubs

Do you need August Morning Tubs for your preschool or kindergarten class?

Morning tubs are often used as students are coming in and settling in for the day. They engage kids while attendance is being taken, homework folders are being opened and checked, and those types of daily tasks.

Morning tubs are great for a couple of reasons.

1. Building Independence: Kids are able to work on their own or in small groups at their table to use their bin(s). It encourages them to self-start and learn/play on their own.
2. Socialization: Math and Literacy Centers give kids a chance to work together in small groups. They get to share pieces, solve problems together, and even just talk, play, and learn for a few minutes with a couple of their tablemates.
3. Creativity and Play: Creativity is something we can build and increase by spending time working on it. Math and Literacy Centers are a perfect way to introduce a little more play and freedom into learning rather than traditional worksheets or morning work that kept kids busy but did not encourage creativity and play.

Practice spelling your name by writing it out with toy letters, alphabet beads, or a dry erase marker. Then find and mark the letters of your name on the keyboard.

Roll and Cover Block Numbers

Roll 1 or two dice (depending on the page) and count the dots. Cover the correct block. Alternatively, you can build block towers to match the number shown on each block.

Alphabet Gum

Find the correct gum for the machine. Cover the matching letters with clear bingo markers or some other fun manipulative.

Crayon Tally Counting

Make tallies using crayons. Create them vertically using playdough as your base, or just lay them out on the table to represent the number shown on each card.

Pom Pom Alphabet

Form alphabet letters using pom poms, buttons, or even dot markers. Don’t forget to clip a clothespin on the picture with the matching beginning sound.

Crayon Color Mats

Trace or make the color words using playdough. Then fill the circles with matching colored pom poms, buttons, or playdough balls.

Stick Numbers

Build each number using craft sticks. Then show the number in the 10 frames to get some well-rounded number practice.

Shape Find Cards

Clip a clothespin on each of the matching shape boxes or cover them with snap cubes or another fun manipulative.

Pencil Grip Maze

Practice pencil grip and tracing with these fun mazes. We like to mix up how we use them alternating between using dry erase markers, pipe cleaners, and playdough. Each uses a different skill and keeps it fun and engaging for kids.
