1st Grade Morning Work - 1st Grade Writing Prompts For the Entire Year - Journal

If you are tired of wrestling with a broken copier just to get your 1st grade morning work ready, and you'd rather spend your precious morning routine on meaningful tasks (like heating up your coffee), then meet your new best friend. Paperless writing prompts for 1st grade morning work are ready with the click of a button--say goodbye to the hassle of printing, copying, and distributing morning work worksheets every.single.morning.

This 1st grade morning work isn't just for morning work -- use as your writing center, daily writing practice to open your ELA block, or journal prompts during small group work. No matter the time of day, this set of 1st grade writing prompts promises no mess, no stress, and (almost) no paper.

⭐ Just add a spiral notebook for each student and you are ready to roll into a serene, organized morning. If you've been looking for no-prep writing activities, these 1st grade writing prompts are the answer to your prayers.

A year's worth of morning journal writing prompts--now available in Google Slides--will engage your students, make them think creatively, and have fun!

✋ Teachers, here's the deal:

>> Each morning journal prompt includes an example layout or response so students can clearly see the format expected.

>> This format is predictable for students, which makes expectations clear and consistent and lowers the amount of time spent asking and answering questions about directions each day.

>> Prompts are organized to cut down on teacher direction-giving time during the busy morning time.

>> The electronic nature of the prompts creates a COPY-FREE product for teachers! Students simply respond to prompts daily in their morning journals (spiral notebooks).

>> Calming classical music plays while students work

Prompts follow this schedule:

• Make It Monday: (Varies between: 'Draw a picture & write a sentence about it', 'Draw a picture and label it', or 'Make a list')
• True Life Tuesday: (Write facts about ___________)
• Would You Rather Wednesday: (Would you rather _______ or _______?)
• Thoughtful Thursday: (Questions that make students think deeply: Why do you think..., How do..., How long would it take...)
• Free Write Friday (Write or draw about anything you want!)
