Make the beginning of the school day easier with First Grade Morning Work that gives your students meaningful, independent practice while you take attendance, meet with students, or get your classroom ready for the day!
This August morning work for 1st grade provides quick, manageable review of important kindergarten skills while gradually building the independence students need at the beginning of first grade.
The activities combine first grade math and ELA review on each page, giving students consistent practice with foundational skills without overwhelming them.
What’s Included?
This resource includes 20 days of morning work plus answer keys.
Students practice:
ELA & Literacy Skills
Math Skills
The activities gradually increase in difficulty as students move through the packet. For example, students begin with numbers and quantities within 5 and eventually work with numbers through 20, skip-counting patterns, number representations, and additional counting practice.
Perfect for August Morning Work
The beginning of first grade can be challenging. Students are learning your routines and procedures while you are also reviewing skills they learned in kindergarten.
This first grade morning work gives students a predictable routine:
Arrive → Get Morning Work → Work Independently → Practice Sight Words → Read to a Partner
The resource specifically explains that morning work is intended to be completed independently and as review, while some directions may need to be read aloud for beginning first graders.
A Great Back-to-School Resource!
