I have always done a version of morning work in which students practice math skills each day. We do this to reinforce skills and make sure students maintain them. We changed Friday to ELA practice and often use this as an assessment if we need a quick one!
Here is how it works: After students finish morning work, they bring it to me to check. I either let them choose a sticker because the work is all correct OR I guide them and send them back to their seats to fix or correct a mistake. When they finish, they bring the work BACK to me! If they still don’t get it, I reteach then and there- and THEN they get a sticker If they get it right- they get a sticker. Do you see a theme? They love the stickers and work to get them. Since I have a million-bazillion I have no problem sharing. 🙂
Here is how I store the stickers
Look WAYYYYYY down that brown shelf. It is in the clear, little index card box to the far right side of the brown shelf. Kids simple pick a sticker out of the box. Done. Nice and easy.
This is our morning work for NEXT week (Nov 5th). We are out Tuesday, so we did not include a Tuesday page.
We are considering selling these on either a monthly or weekly basis. Would you be interested in something like this? If so, what do you think is a reasonable price?

I love this idea. I do something similar for homework and my kiddos LOVE it. I'm not sure about pricing. I don't buy too much from TPT because I have 3 kids in college so I watch every penny. I am sure that it would be a popular item, however!

That's such a good idea. The kids must love the stickers!

Fantastic idea. I do something very similar to reinforce learned skills on the back of their homework sheet. I like the idea of being able to provide instant feedback.
Fabulous idea! I do Morning Work within my classroom as well and sometimes finding the time to reteach a particular skill is difficult. I'm sure this would be a popular item, but not sure of the pricing. Thanks for sharing.

I love this and I do a balanced math review each day and then on Friday a test. I do the same for ELA and then a test on Friday.
I think it is a great idea to sell and I was thinking maybe $4.00 for a monthly supply.

P.S. I would love another week.
I do a short review every day also. I think these are great. I love the instant feedback and reteaching idea. I would buy them. Not sure of a reasonable price though.
Your stuff is always top notch. If you look at some commercial pre-printed workbooks they run between 20-35 bucks for a year… not as specialized as your fabulous resource though!

I love the idea of the instant reteaching and correcting. That make so much sense. I would definitely purchase!
