Morning routine

Hi Everyone.

Hope you’re all well and looking forward to the day.

I have posted images to support a morning routine similar to our class circle time.

Please ask your son what emotion they are feeling and if the y say tired they also need to give another emotion! Ask them how they feel the emotion and what could be done to make them feel better if appropriate.
