I'd recommend this to any teacher looking for a simple, effective way to start the day.
I'm a 4th grade teacher, but I grabbed this 3rd grade spiral review to use as morning work, and it's been a great fit. It's the perfect way to see what my students already know and where they might need a little extra support before we build on those skills.
The format is quick and easy to use each day, so my students can complete it independently while we get our morning going. It gives me a clear picture of their foundation without a lot of extra prep on my end. I love having an early look at what they know and what we'll need to revisit as the year goes on. I'd recommend this to any teacher looking for a simple, effective way to start the day.
Great hands on activity
I love the tile math resources. The students don't realize they are practicing!
Decent resource
This was a nice spiral review before testing. We already use something similar
Great way to make grammar fun
My 6th grade students struggle with grammar and spelling, and this interactive notebook keeps all of our targets organized and easy to find.
Time Saver
Easy to access and assign, and grades itself. I just need to learn how to delete questions, but that is a user error.
