August Morning Work

Shawn had a HUGE medical school test on Friday that was out of town - a 9 hour test about anything medical related. Gross. Which means I was alone for a couple of days. So, what's a teacher in the summer with her husband away going to do?? Why, you watch movies on the couch all day long and make morning work packets! Obviously, right?!

I know you wish you had my life. (School starts in 2 weeks-gotta soak in the last little bit of summer laziness!)

I know there are several ways to assess what your sweeties know at the beginning of the year, but why not use a fun, engaging morning work packet to get an informal look at those sweeties' brains??

August Morning Work

My students have a folder just for their morning work. After they unpack and get settled in the morning, they know to get out their Morning Work folder and look at the board to see what page to complete. Nobody is walking around the room to pick up papers, turn in papers, or ask me 9732984 questions about what they are supposed to be doing. (I print front and back to save paper). I don't usually take a grade for it, but I'm trying to find a way where it won't consume my time for a quick grade. Open to suggestions!

Each page has 7 items-a mix of reading and math on both pages. As you can see, not every day has the same layout so it's new and fresh each morning (but still relevant!). This pack is mainly a first grade review with some 2nd grade skills that are super important all year long. I plan for the other morning work packs to be aligned with our reading and math skills in our curriculum for that month. Just waiting on that ever-wonderful pacing guide. :)
