It's WINSday! {Morning Work}

 
Morning Work.  It used to be a dreadful thing.  Last minute scrounging for something students could do independently.  So many copies...ohhhhh the copies!  Directions to explain....over and over and over again as the students entered the room at staggered times.

No longer!  Morning Work is heavenly now. :)  I finally buckled down and created Morning Work PowerPoints last year.  That's right - NO MORE COPIES!!

The format remains the same so students know what to do each day.  They walk in, unpack, make their lunch choices, get out their journals and get to work!  Bliss in room 205, I tell ya! ;)

Until recently, our Morning Work PowerPoints were only "PC compatible" but now they can be used with PC or Mac!  Woohoo!!

If you're looking for something to keep your sanity (and copies) intact, while providing common core standards-based practice and review for your kiddos each morning, comment below to win this unit - 180 days worth of 2nd grade morning work!  That's right - you will not need to think about morning work again for the entire year!  And no more mornings waiting in line at the copier, either!

Here's an overview of the skills included for each quarter...

Take a look at some of the feedback from other teachers on this resource...
 Can't wait to win it?  You can purchase it at our shop for $7.99 {for the whole year - yowza...what a deal!}  Just click below!

Do you teach 1st grade instead??  By popular request, we are working on Morning Work PowerPoints for 1st grade that will correlate with common core!  The 1st Quarter ones are up and ready!  Other quarters will be added throughout the 2013-2014 school year.  If you purchase the unit, you will be able to download the rest once they're added!



To enter, comment below and tell me your "go-to" workday breakfast.  The winner will be announced in my next post!  Good luck, bloggy friends!

  6. I am in love! This is so exciting! I was just talking about creating a ppt for morning work with my colleague yesterday! Now you saved me the trouble! Thank you!
    I hope I win :)
    My go-to breakfast is maple and brown sugar oatmeal from trader joe's, all day every day (I love a good routine ;) ).

  7. I just have to say that I L-O-V-E your blog and truly appreciate all the hard work, help and ideas you give to those of us out in the "trenches" everyday. :) I teach 2nd grade and am constantly inspired by all you do. So....thank you.

    My go-to breakfast...well since I'm always running out the door every morning with my 3 girls "in tow" (ages 10, 8 and 4)...I usually eat once I'm at school and getting things ready to start the day at school. So...what is it? Greek Yogurt, baby. Yep...I've been known to eat it as I'm taking my kids to "Specials", greeting them at the door in the morning, even reviewing the addition/subtraction facts! LOL!

    Thanks again~

  8. This is exactly what I was looking for to use for morning work. My go-to breakfast has lately been S'more Poptarts. They are easy to eat while I prep for the day.

  10. I just want you to know that I've tried commenting on 3 different forms of technology....my ipad wouldn't let me type....my phone (galaxy s3) started flashing the screen when I tried to publish...I got out of bed and came to my laptop! LOL

    This looks amazing! I run off morning work copies 6 weeks at a time. UGH!!! I have my fingers crossed on this one.

    My favorite go to breakfast is muffins! Especially blueberry or banana nut!

  11. I would love to win! I saw your post on Instagram. I teach 2nd and this would make life so much better for my students....and me too! My go to breakfast is a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. But on some days I go through the drive through at MC Donald's for their yummy hot cakes! Pjrbar@charter.net

  13. I would love to win morning work for the year!! This looks fantastic! My go-to breakfast is a banana and greek yogurt...usually eaten on the way to work. :)

  14. This is absolutely amazing! My kids normally do Daily Language Review, but I'd love to use this instead. I love the paper saving aspect as well as that it covers so many skills! On workdays I try to have something quick and easy that I can eat on the go like a muffin, banana, granola bar, etc. If I'm out of that, I end up not eating because I don't plan cooking (even microwaving) time into my morning. :(

  15. Love the morning work! My go to breakfast is coffee and banana walnut bread from Starbucks :)

  19. Love the mac-friendly option, since that is all we have in our elementary!

    My go to breakfast is oven-baked crinkle cut french fries, a sunny side up egg, plain yogurt with raisins, fresh fruit, juice and milk with a splash of coffee. (Lunch is not till 12:45!)

  20. Love the new idea for morning work. I am wondering how students record responses.

    I LOVE oatmeal in the morning with blueberries and Greek yogurt.

  24. I can't wait to try this. Our students stagger in for 30 minutes and it always difficult to find something meaningful for them to do. Also no copying is great!

    My go-to breakfast is yogurt at my desk.

  25. Amazing!!! I would definitely love to get my hands on the first grade set of morning work powerpoints!

    My go to breakfast is a quick pb&j sandwich and a cup of yogurt...easy to make and eat on the go.

  29. This is awesome!!! I would love to win this pack!

    My go-to breakfast is a protein shake or what I call chocolate oatmeal: 1/3 cup of dry oatmeal mixed with 2/3 cup of water, microwave for 75 seconds, then add 2 scoops of vanilla or sweet cream protein powder, 1 T. Hershey's cocoa, 1 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 of a warmed banana (slice banana & microwave for 20 seconds). Yummy!

  30. OMG! This pack looks awesome! Our copier has been on the fritz every. day. And I mean e.v.e.r.y. d.a.y!! I am not creative in the AM - grab a cup of coffe and a Belvita cracker. Those little things keep me full until lunch! (I usually eat them in the car.) Bad. I know...Just being honest :)
