When they come into the room, their work is laid out at their tables, in a really cool dry-erase sleeve from Really Good Stuff.
The baskets from Kaplan stay in the center of their tables all day and contain everything they'll need. To sign in, they need an Expo marker and a sock for an eraser. I'm having them use golf pencils this year because they are great for beginning fine motor skills, and then I don't have to deal with erasers! Next week I'll add crayons to that fourth slot.
I rotate weekly through 6 slightly different forms of the sign-in sheet, just to keep it interesting. Later in the year, we will start practicing last names as well.
