Having this morning journal prompt on the screen each morning becomes a predictable routine that students come to love and trust. Soon, they'll know the drill and stop asking questions when you're trying to take attendance!

2. Writing warm-up 

Switch this on to transition into your writing workshop. This is a priceless 2nd grade writing yearlong bundle since it can be used across several times of the day.
