Morning Message

After the children answer the question of the day they move to the group area of the room and read the morning message. I write about 3 sentences explaining what will happen that day in school. The children are really getting good at reading some of the words and working together to figure out what the message says. There is always a question at the end of the message that they have to answer. After calendar and phonemic awareness work we read the message as a class and circle words we know. We then answer the question. The children who answered correctly get to kiss their brain and the children who did not answer correctly get to do the firecracker cheer because they learned something so early in the day!
