Fast Finisher / Do Now Cards

I'm so glad I found these cute cards! In the mornings, while I'm taking care of morning business, I need something easy for my kids to do independently. I used to just have them read from the book bins at their tables, but they were getting bored with that. Now, I just post one of these cards on the board to show the kids what they need to do once they unpack. Each day, I choose a different activity, which might include reading a book, writing on their white boards, file folder games, or puzzles. I also use these during independent work time for kids who finish their work early.  I found these great cards at What the Teacher Wants!
