Boardwork

We have the same routine every morning when the kids come in.  Piano music is playing, they turn in their homework, hang up their things, and then do "boardwork."  Each morning I write something we're working on on the board and they have to copy it and complete any instructions or questions.  It might look like this:

"Boardwork" was required at a private school that I taught at, and I love it, so I had my husband make me this great line-guide for writing on the board. He's the best.  What do your students do when they first come into class?
