Wake Up Work

In 2nd grade we start our day out with wake up work.  The students follow a specific morning routine: turn in take home folder, make milk and snack choice, read the morning message, and then begin our wake up work.  This routine helps create a focused and productive environment as students begin to filter in.  Our wake up work consists of a review of math, phonics, reading, and spelling skills.  After the wake up work is completed, the students are free to make a quiet choice for a few minutes, such as shop for books in our classroom library or read a book with a buddy.
