Nailing Your Morning & Pack-Up Routines Will Be the Best Move You’ll Make for Calm, Structured Vibes

What do I even do with my kids in the morning?? This was my first-ever viral series as a baby teacher content creator—and for good reason. Morning routine is where the day starts and where a lot of us are already exhausted before the bell even rings. So in this video, I’m breaking it ALL the way down:
• What a real, calm, teacher-friendly morning routine looks like
• How to scaffold executive functioning without adding a million things to your plate
• Ways to keep kids calm, organized, and off your last nerve
• How to handle breakfast chaos and trash procedures (yes, unfortunately)
• Easy, low-stakes morning work ideas you don’t have to grade
• The daily communication routine that changed my behavior management game
• And the real pack-up system that keeps your classroom from imploding at 2:45 PM

Whether you’ve got 30 minutes or 5 chaotic seconds to get your class ready, this one’s for you. Let’s build a calm classroom that runs itself.
