2) Morning Journal Prompts

>> 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
