Kindergarten Morning Work Worksheets Daily Spiral Review for the Year

Implementing kindergarten morning work has never been so easy! Kindergarten is different from all other grade levels because at the beginning of the year they don't have the skills necessary to work independently. However, as the year progresses, they make amazing transformations and can accomplish so many things! That is why Bright Minds grows with your students.

✔ Daily writing, math, and language arts review

✔ Spiraled topics

✔ 36 weeks - 180 pages

Why will the Bright Minds format work for my students?

Over the course of the year, the skills will change, but the formatting will stay the same. This gives your students a familiar routine each day, yet provides them with a chance to review various skills.

How many weeks are included?

There are 36 weeks (or 180 days) included. Most schools are in session for around 180-190 days. Keep in mind that there will be days you may not have time for morning work, especially if you have an assembly or field trip.

However, if 36 weeks is not enough for you, I do offer a free two-week pack called Bright Starts that can be used before you begin Bright Minds kindergarten morning work.

What skills are covered throughout the year?

Writing skills vary from printing letters to writing two complete sentences on their own.

The math section covers counting, addition, subtraction, teen numbers, measurement, and more.

Students will also have repeated exposure to CVC words and handwriting practice in the language arts review. The language arts section also covers topics such as beginning sounds, medial sounds, ending sounds, opposites, reading comprehension, and more.

For a detailed breakdown of what is covered each week, please look at the preview file.

What do students complete each day?

Every page of the Bright Minds kindergarten morning work begins with a writing section. This portion covers everything from letter formation to writing in complete sentences.

The middle section of the page is dedicated to math. Your students will spend at least one week focused on a particular skill, such as number formation or fact fluency (addition and subtraction).

The final section of the page covers language arts topics. The difficulty of this section varies drastically from week 1 to week 36. Your students begin with beginning sounds and end with reading comprehension!

How do I know the Bright Minds is right for my kindergartners?

As an experienced kindergarten teacher, I feel confident that your students can and will find success with this kindergarten morning work. It was developed with the standards in mind, as well as appropriate student development.

My students aren't ready to jump in with beginning sounds and letter formation on the first day of school. Can I still use this?

Definitely! In fact, I suggest for the first few weeks of school when your students aren't ready for content-based morning work that you try Bright Starts Morning Work, a free two-week resource!

I don't have time for morning work. Can I still use this?

Yes! While these were created to be used for morning work, the actual pages do not say morning work on them. These worksheets would be fantastic to use for daily homework or in centers. You can also use them in the middle of your day!

My students are at very different levels. Will this be helpful?

Absolutely! Even if your students are familiar and confident with these skills, it is still important that they review and show mastery of concepts. Those that finish faster can take time to color the pictures or write sentences on the back using sight words. The slower workers can just do the "pencil" parts of the activities and still finish on time.

My students are finding great success with this morning work! Do you have any other resources that span across the year?

Yes, a lot of my resources are created for the entire year so they grow with your students. You may want to consider my Kindergarten Math Journals for your daily transition into math. My Monthly Kindergarten Centers are perfect for your math and literacy centers.
