Morning Work & Spiral Review Activities

Morning work/spiral review activities for students can really help set a routine for your classroom and make the day run smoothly.

When students know what is expected of them as they walk through your classroom door, they’ll be ready to learn and set up for a successful day.

Having daily or weekly spiral review of key math, language, grammar, and writing skills will help students retain important information needed for your classroom and the next grade level.

Spiral review activities that are repetitive allow students to understand the directions. They’ll get right to work and know what’s expected of them. This leads to fewer questions and distractions as you start your day.

Sentence Writing Practice and Grammar Spiral Review/Morning Work

This resource is a year long spiral review practice for writing sentences. It will help your students write better sentences. Students practice how to restate the question, proofread, expand sentences, and write the question when the answer is given. These activities span over 36 weeks.

~Each week includes the following :

*RESTATE THE QUESTION – Students are given a question. They must answer in a complete sentence and restate the question in their answer.

*PROOFREADING – Students practice using proofreading marks to find mistakes in the sentence. They then write the sentence correctly. (Proofreading Resource Page for students is included!!)

*WHAT IS THE QUESTION? – An answer is given. Students need to write the question.

*EXPAND YOUR SENTENCES – Students practice expanding sentences to be more clear and descriptive in their writing.

Fun Challenges for each week!

~Each week, one of these is featured in a challenge section (12 total for each!). This section is perfect for students who finish early and need an extra challenge. Your slower students may get to some of it, but if it isn’t finished, that’s alright.

*MAKING WORDS – Students are given a positive phrase. They have to find words (2 letters or more) using just the letters in the phrase.

*IDIOMS – Students are given a popular idiom. They write the literal meaning and the figurative meaning. They also draw a picture of each.

*HOMOPHONES – Students are given words. They have to write the homophone(s). They then choose one pair and write a sentence for each and draw a picture.
