Let me shout it from the rooftops!!!  I FINISHED NOVEMBER’S GOOD MORNING WORK PACKET!  Please excuse the shouty capitals, but I am so excited that I stayed up late  and made my personal deadline with this one.  Okay, so the math pack still isn’t done yet, but I am all over this one today.  I digress . . . let me introduce to you . . .   

JW Illustrations – you make me smile!
The name of my game is INDEPENDENT work.  We all know that mornings are crazy with homework collection, parents, taking roll/lunch count, and everything else.  With this said, I attempt to be very mindful in my creation of these packs – which standards are covered and the way they are presented.  Not only do I want your kidlets to feel successful and not mind the work, but I also want them to need little to no support from you!  Sound like a good idea? 
As with the last two packets, my goal with Good Morning Work (GMW) is to spiral review basic reading concepts, standards,  and stills in a straightforward and non-threatening manner.  The September and October sets focused on more kindergarten and beginning of the year common core standards.  This set continues to step things up a bit with the introduction of verbs, adjectives, blends, dirgraphs, detailed sentence writing, and contractions.  Just take a little peek at the pages below.  And, oh yeah . . . here are a few FREE pages to take with you today.  As I always like to say, “Try ’em before ya buy ’em!”  If you like what you see, visit my TPT Shop to pick up the new pack before November sneaks up on ya.  How ya like them turkeys??
CLICK HERE to download these free “tester” pages!
Again, thank you to JW Illustrations for your darlin’ little turkey dude 🙂
Here’s the “grand view” of this packet . . . 25 pages in all!
Skills covered include: sight words, ABC order, nouns, verbs, adjectives, blends, digraphs, detailed sentence writing,
sentence editing, compound words, and contractions.
Personally, my kiddos have done an amazing job with my GMW collections.  The work is spot on for my first graders and they actually seem to really enjoy it! They rush to start every morning.  Could I have died and gone to teacher heaven . . . maybe . . . just maybe??!!
Just look at the quality INDEPENDENT work I am getting and they are smiling!  What . . . what??
The doll on the bottom left always colors the whole page to make it her best work.
The sweetie on the right always goes above and beyond when it comes to the Super Student Challenge!
A huge thank you to all of my wonderful editors who broke out the “red pen” for me yesterday – Susan at TGIF (Thank God It’s First Grade) and Lori from Teaching with Love & Laughter!  I value your opinions like NO OTHER and I seriously heart ya to the moon and back!

Alright friends, I am out of here.  Thanks so much for visiting and I will see you all very . . . very soon!!!

    These are seriously a lifesaver, Kelley! I used to constantly forget to copy morning work, or struggle to find something…. until your packets came along! I won't stop 'til I have the entire collection!! 🙂
