The monthly morning work is part of the following BUNDLES:

This set contains 5 weeks of Winter and themed morning work for the month of January. The morning work is focused on the ELA 3rd Grade Common Core Standards. Each day has a thematic structure to cover the Language Standards as well as enhance Vocabulary and Comprehension skills.

Meaningful Monday: Monday is focused on making meaning. Tasks will focus on synonyms, antonyms, vocabulary words, context clues, and making meaning in a short amount of text. 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 main idea, author's perspective, or vocabulary.

Wordy Wednesday: Wednesday is all about working with words. Tasks include working with shades of meaning, homophones, or a short writing task using pictures or a word bank.

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

Figurative Friday: Figurative Friday 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!

Imagine your 3rd grade students walking in, grabbing their folder, and getting right to work on their math morning warm-up. This printable and digital morning work helps you build a consistent routine while reinforcing the foundational math skills your students need all year long.

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 3rd 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.

Why You’ll L❤️VE This Morning Work

✨ Establish a calm, consistent morning routine

✨ Focus on the most important 3rd grade math standards

✨ Build student independence + confidence

✨ Maximize those first 10 minutes of the day

✨ Use fewer copies (just 1 sheet per week!)

⭐️ BUNDLE + SAVE:
The monthly morning work is part of the following BUNDLES:

Short & Sweet, BUT Rigorous

This math morning work will help you consistently focus on critical content and build a routine for you and your students. Because the morning work is short and sweet but a rigorous daily review, it really maximizes those first few minutes so that you can set a peacefully productive tone for your day.

✅ The monthly morning work includes:

Wordless Wednesday – No word problems. Students have 3 problems without words.

Throwback Thursday – Review including measurement, data, geometry

Fraction Fun Friday – Nothing says Fun Friday like Fractions! There is always a need to review fractions. By keeping it short and sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence in fractions while also keeping it fresh.

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!

Valentine's Day Math Fractions Decimals Activity Coloring Sheets Worksheets

$3.00

Get your Valentine's Day fractions and decimals Math activity worksheets here! Includes fractions and decimals math, with coloring sheets and conversation hearts; perfect for 3rd, 4th, 5th graders!

Fractions & Decimals...Valentine's Day Style! This resource offers 3 activities for you to use on or around Valentine’s Day. You will need conversation hearts for two of these activities. These activities are appropriate for grades 3-5, but align to 4th Grade Common Core Standards listed below.

MACC.4.NF.A.1 Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions

MACC.4.NF.3.6 Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100.

1) Find Your Sweetheart!

In the first activity, Find Your Sweetheart!, students will find the fractional amounts of a set by using tally marks and creating a table.

2) My Fraction, My Decimal

In the second activity, My Fraction, My Decimal, students will use only 10 conversation hearts to demonstrate the relationship between fractions and decimals. Then, they will plot the decimals and fractions on a number line. This is a wonderful activity to use when introducing decimal/fraction relationships. For my students, it was a hands-on way to reinforce these concepts.

3) Our Hearts Belong Together!

The third activity, Our Hearts Belong Together, reinforces the concept of equivalent fractions. Students will use a key to color in equivalent fraction hearts for 1/2 , 1/4, 1/3, 2/4. *Answer Key Included*

This is an informational newspaper-style text perfect to teach your students about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and may be used over a few days. The questions are offered in two versions.

Bingo
Bingo sheets are included, which have questions from the article. Students read the informational text about MLK Day. Then, they answer questions on the bingo grid. The grid comes in 26 different versions. Having each student use a different version of the answer grid will allow you to reinforce the content of the informational text by playing a game of bingo possibly on MLK Day or at the end of the week. The questions range from vocabulary, finding the main idea, using text features, as well as finding key details.

How to Play:
The first page is an answer key, which can be used to play the game of bingo. Cut up each square, place in a Ziploc bag or container of your choice and call out questions. Students must answer the question correctly and have 5 in a row. Up, down, or diagonally. Students can use counters or any treats to keep track of the questions called.

Also Included!
Reading Comprehension Questions: The questions are also in a traditional multiple choice and short answer format. Not all answers are included from the bingo grid and the questions may be slightly different. You would not need to use BOTH formats – pick one or the other.

This resource is part of the Reading Comprehension Bingo (Holiday Bundle)
