This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 5th Grade Common Core Standards and intended to be a review. If you teach 6th grade, this might also work for you depending on your students’ needs.

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 5th grade Common Core Standards and intended to be a review.

This set contains 5 weeks of Winter - themed math morning work for the month of January. The problems are thematic around Winter, New Year's Celebrations, Martin Luther King, Jr., & Arctic animals. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged and open doors for conversations.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my classroom of 4th Graders: Multiplication & Division, Number Sense, & Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals) While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my classroom of 4th graders: Multiplication & Division, Number Sense, & Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals) While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Because this has worked so well in my classroom of 4th Graders, I was inspired to create a 5th Grade Morning Work.

Each week follows the same routine and structure.

Multiplication Monday - Problems are centered around Multiplication.

Base Ten Tuesday - All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

Wordless Wednesday - No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

Throwback Thursday - Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from 4th grade or the beginning of the year. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, and Geometry. There is also a short paragraph in which students Box the Verbs, Circle the adjectives, and Underline the nouns. They might also do some sort of language and grammar activity such as editing a sentence or answering a question after reading a short paragraph related to Social Studies or Science.

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

I created this morning work series in my 4th grade classroom because I saw a need to continuously review these key areas. By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas. I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:

*Routine! - My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom. Also, if I needed a few extra minutes due to meetings or other housekeeping duties, I knew my students were spending that time working on essential math skills, not just “busy work.” The morning work is meant to be short and sweet, skill practice, plus engaging.

*Short and Sweet - There are only a few problems so it shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

*Fewer Copies - Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back)

*A Weekly Grade - My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and “added on to their thinking,” they can earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.

This bundle includes ELA Daily Review for the months of August - June. Each month includes 4-5 weeks of morning work.

Each week follows a predictable and engaging structure:

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, main idea, author's perspective, or vocabulary, or any other question types related to the Craft and Structure standards.

Wordy Wednesday: Wednesday is all about working with words. Tasks include working with shades of meaning, homophones, spelling, prefixes, suffixes, roots, and other word skills.

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, poems, alliteration, structures of poems and more!

ELA WEEKLY ASSESSMENTS

GOOGLE FORMS: All months have been updated to include self-grading Google Forms.

You asked, I answered. This resource is a result of multiple requests from 7th grade teachers that have been using the 7th Grade ELA Daily Review. These teachers wanted a way to assess the skills practiced throughout the week.

These weekly assessments are a companion for the 7th Grade ELA Daily Review. The daily review is available in an ELA bundle. Click the link below to view the bundle.

The ELA daily review covers critical language, grammar, and comprehension skills over the year. The suggested way to use this resource is by reviewing the skills throughout the week with the morning work, and then giving the assessment on Friday for a weekly quiz grade.

Not only will this hold your students accountable, but this also serves as a gauge for students' learning. Plus, it's a consistent weekly quiz grade with a streamlined answer key to be easy on your teacher eyes!

5th Grade ELA and Math Morning Work and Weekly Assessments Bundle

$137.00 $107.20 Save $29.80

This is a bundle of the following companion resources:

MATH MORNING WORK

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 5th grade Common Core Standards and a great way to review critical Math standards throughout the year.

Each month contains 4-5 (except for August) weeks of Math morning work, which will have a theme around the season, national holidays, or events associated with that particular month. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged and open doors for conversations. At the beginning of the year, the math will be mostly 4th grade review and increase in difficulty throughout the year.

The morning work is intended to be a review to keep students engaged, build confidence, and ensure they can complete with independence.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my own classroom:

Multiplication & Division
Number Sense
Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals).

While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure:

Multiplication Monday- Multiplication & Division problems, including problems that scaffold these concepts

Base Ten Tuesday- All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

Wordless Wednesday- No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

Throwback Thursday- Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from 2nd grade or the beginning of the year. Thursdays also include problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, and Geometry.

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

I created this resource in my classroom because I saw a need to continuously review these key areas. By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas. I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:

*Routine!-My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom.

*Short & Sweet- There are only a few problems so it shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

Fewer Copies- Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back)

*A Weekly Grade-My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and “added on to their thinking,” they will earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.

5.Nf 1.1 Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)

5.NF 1.2 Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 5th Grade Common Core Standards and intended to be a review. If you teach 6th grade, this might also work for you depending on your students’ needs.

This set contains 5 weeks of Spring and Summer themed math morning work for the month of May. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged and open doors for conversations.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my classroom of 4th graders: Multiplication & Division, Number Sense, & Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals) While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Because this has worked so well in my classroom of 4th Graders, I was inspired to create a 5th Grade Morning Work.

Wordless Wednesday - No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

Throwback Thursday - Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from 4th grade or the beginning of the year. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, and Geometry. There is also a short paragraph in which students Box the Verbs, Circle the adjectives, and Underline the nouns. They might also do some sort of language and grammar activity such as editing a sentence or answering a question after reading a short paragraph related to Social Studies or Science.

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

*Routine! - My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom. Also, if I needed a few extra minutes due to meetings or other housekeeping duties, I knew my students were spending that time working on essential math skills, not just “busy work.” The morning work is meant to be short and sweet, skill practice, plus engaging.

*Short and Sweet - There are only a few problems so it shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

*Fewer Copies - Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back)

*A Weekly Grade - My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and “added on to their thinking,” they can earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 5th grade Common Core Standards and intended to be a review. If you teach 6th grade, this might also work for you depending on your students’ needs.

This set contains 5 weeks of Holiday-themed math morning work for the month of March. The problems are thematic around leprechauns, St. Patrick’s Day, Spring, & Women's History Month. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged and open doors for conversations.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my classroom of 4th graders: Multiplication & Division, Number Sense, & Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals) While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Because this has worked so well in my classroom of 4th Graders, I was inspired to create a 5th Grade Morning Work.

Each week follows the same routine and structure.

Multiplication Monday - Problems are centered around Multiplication.

Base Ten Tuesday - All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

Wordless Wednesday - No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

Throwback Thursday - Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from 4th grade or the beginning of the year. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, and Geometry. There is also a short paragraph in which students Box the Verbs, Circle the adjectives, and Underline the nouns. They might also do some sort of language and grammar activity such as editing a sentence or answering a question after reading a short paragraph related to Social Studies or Science.

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

I created this morning work series in my 4th grade classroom because I saw a need to continuously review these key areas. By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas. I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:

*Routine! - My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom.
