Lower school students can enter anytime between 8:00 – 8:15 and be on time for the day. That rolling entry and different work speeds of kids mean that some are finishing morning work when others are starting on password (quick academic check in and high five before coming in!). That means that nearly everyone has time to read whatever tub of books is put out in the morning (either by me or a student). Some of my favorite classroom photos are of friends enjoying books and each others’ company.
