How to use morning work
Print a packet once at the start of the week and hand out one sheet a day. Each sheet is six items and takes about 10–15 minutes. Students can start without instruction, so the sheets cover the part of the morning when you are taking attendance, chasing notes and settling the room.
Mark the week as a set on Friday rather than page by page. Five short sheets on the same skills show you a pattern; one sheet on its own mostly shows you whether a child was awake.
