No morning work for me!
By Tapnstitch

Clip to ScrapBook   
I teach a 1st-2nd multiage class. The children can come to the classroom at 7:15. The tardy bell rings at 7:35. I usually begin morning meeting at 7:45. The children unpack, turn in homewrork folders, sharpen pencils and then they have free choice reading. They can read anything in the room: big books, poetry charts etc and they can read alone or with thier friends anywhere in the room. On Thursdays they have the choice of practicing their spelling words on white boards or with Wiki sticks to prepare for the spelling practice test. (if they make 100 0n thursday, they don't have spelling homework and do not have to take the test on Friday). I use the time to do the attendance on the computer, check folders for notes from home and read with a few children.
