Teachers in Tiaras

Morning work or bell work is an excellent way to keep your class room in order during the early morning. Have the problems on the board or a worksheet on each desk for the students to complete as they come into the room. Try these for each day of the week:

• Math Monday- put 5 math review problems on the board, give a pretest for new skill
• Talk it Over Tuesday- write famous, interesting quotes on the board for students to edit, allow the students to talk in small groups about a story worksheet
• Wacky Word Wall Wednesday- put 3 of the word wall words in sentences, write definitions for 4 word wall words, create a sentence using as many word wall words as possible
• Think it Through Thursday- write a thought-provoking question on the board for the students to answer, write two riddles on the board for the students to solve
• Fun Friday- allow the students to complete a fun word search, crossword, Sudoku, or a fun activity of their choice!
