I seriously don't know how I taught without having this check-in process in place. Your mornings as a teacher are going to be chaos, full of questions, comments, and insights from your students. A morning check-in process allows all of your students to feel heard, regulated, and have some time to chill out in the mornings. Imagine a Starbucks shop but with your students, kind of vibe. Calming, relaxing, and as a teacher this sets me up on the right foot!
