I tried to do this last year with my 5 LRE students and it was a disaster. I could never get any of them to look at the board or stay in their seat. When I called them up to participate, they would wine or pitch a fit so I scrapped it and started doing calendar activities 1:1 a couple days a week. Sucks because I spent a lot of time getting all of my morning meeting activities together.

Number of the day!
-standard form -word form -expanded form -add 10,100,1000 -subtract 10,100,1000 -double it -half it -put into place value chart -identify as even or odd -identify factors
Of course this would be modified to specific grade level/academic need. I started with a few and added the more complex thinking throughout the school year. I was 3rd-6th. So it was modified to their needs.

I teach self contained grade 3-5 ASD/EBD. I usually do calendar, announcements/go over the schedule for the day, and then have a student select (out of 2 options) a "would you rather" question to ask the class and then have everyone go around and answer, including staff. It's a fun little social skill opportunity in the mornings and my students never let me forget to do it!
