This set contains 5 weeks of morning work for the month of October. The morning work is focused on ELA 2nd Grade Common Core Standards. Each day has a thematic structure to cover Language Standards, Grammar, as well as enhance Vocabulary and Comprehension skills.

>>>Weekly Structure<<<

Meaningful Monday: Monday is focused on making meaning. Tasks will focus on synonyms, antonyms, vocabulary words, and context clues. Some tasks may require students to make meaning in the text (inference, message, adages, proverbs, etc.) or build vocabulary skills.

Text Structure Tuesday: Tuesdays will have a paragraph that requires students to identify the text structure, signal words, and a question or two related to the main idea, author's perspective, or vocabulary.

Wordy Wednesday: Wednesday is all about working with words. Tasks include working spelling sorts, phonics activities, homophones, and other word work.

Throwback Thursday: Thursday is all about grammar usage and conventions.

Fluency Friday: Friday is dedicated to building fluency. In upcoming months, Fluency Friday may become Figurative Friday. These tasks include working with various types of figurative language including similes, metaphors, idioms, and more!

I created this resource after seeing success with the Math version in my own classroom that you can find HERE!

Do your students tend to forget previously taught concepts? There are certain math skills our students need to review consistently (hello, fractions 🙋♀️). This daily spiral review helps you cover the most important 2nd grade math standards in a short amount of time.

A specific math focus for EACH day makes it easy to build a predictable morning routine.

Mathematician Monday – Review of key 2nd grade skills + early multiplication. Later in the year, this becomes Multiplication Monday.

The weekly assessments are a companion for the morning work and align directly with the skills covered throughout the week. These are sold separately or in the morning work + weekly assessment bundle.

❤️ Here's what other teachers are saying about the morning work:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I already have and use the Morning Sunshine for ELA and love it. I also use the assessments that go with it. I knew I would love the Math Morning Sunshine as well, and I was right. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to purchase it!! Thank you!!"
- Allison M.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I love using this morning work! I teach two classes of math so it is not always completed in the morning! It is such a great quick review of old and new concepts that students are constantly growing in their confidence in math! They learn that it is OKAY to not know how to do every problem, ask questions, and make educated guesses!
