Daily Language and Math Skills Packs! And A Give-Away!!

Hi friends,
Up until Christmas I did calendar activities and loved it.  But as we all know as the year progresses we start to panic that we are going to run out of time ~ just so much to cover!!  So I decided to make some morning work that my kids could do as soon as they come in.  I let them have a few days to adjust to the new routine and now I set the timer for 20 minutes and if they are not done - it's homework.  Well let me tell you - you can hear a pin drop in my room!  They work so hard and I can get the usual morning "house keeping" done without interruptions.  LOVE!   I mark the work everyday and at the end of the week the booklets are sent home for parents to supervise any corrections.  I have the booklets returned the following week and they are rewarded with a huge sticker.  The first week the kids were a bit sloppy but after they had to do their corrections at home - let's just say the second week was significantly better:)   I think it is a great way to let parents see how their child is doing.  So a win-win situation all around!
I made a "Daily Language Skills" pack and a "Daily Math Skills" pack (sold separately)  and I photocopied them back-to-back ( language on one side and math on the other)  they do one page (front and back) each day.  I think they are well worth the paper.   Here's a look at how I set the pages up.
