Why Morning Tubs Will Be Your Favorite Routine This Year

I used to start my school day with a worksheet.

You know the kind—meant to keep kids busy while I took attendance and got things settled. But more often than not, it led to a chorus of “I need help!” and papers half-finished (or scribbled on and crumpled like a fast-food napkin).

So I tried something different. I swapped those worksheets for hands-on tubs filled with simple, engaging activities… and I’ve never looked back.

Psst—new to Morning Tubs?

Here’s why I think Morning Tubs might just become your favorite routine this year, too:

✨ They give your morning a calm, focused start.
You’re trying to do all the things—take attendance, respond to an email, tie a shoelace, and smile at parents hovering in the doorway. Morning tubs let your students dive right in independently, giving you time to breathe (and sip your coffee while it’s still hot).

🧠 They build skills without feeling like “work.”
My tubs are filled with math, literacy, critical thinking, and fine motor tasks—disguised as games, puzzles, and challenges. The best part? Your students won’t even realize how much learning they’re doing.

🎯 They’re easy to prep and reuse.
Print, laminate, and pop them in bins. Done. I even include editable direction cards to make your life easier. (Because heaven knows you already have enough on your plate.)

📚 They grow with your students.
I’ve created a set for each grade—2nd, 3rd, and 4th—so the content hits that just-right sweet spot. The August tubs are perfect for Back-to-School, with a balance of review and confidence-boosting tasks.

If you’ve never tried Morning Tubs before, August is the perfect time to start. They’ll help you and your students settle into a routine that feels manageable and meaningful from Day One.
