Morning Message

 Morning message is one of my favorite ways to start the day! It is a great way to review skills and answer the inevitable “what are we doing today”. I try to change mine from time-to-time to keep my students on their toes. Here's a few things I do to change how we do it:

  • Circle the first letter of the sentence with a green crayon or marker.
  • Circle the punctuation mark at the end of the sentence with a red crayon or marker.
  • Put a orange box around spelling words or word wall words.
  • Highlight vowels
  • Underline blends with a purple crayon or marker.
  • Draw a line between the syllables of a word. Circle the word with the most syllable with a brown crayon or marker.

    Sometimes I write letters to my students on chart tablet paper and other times I use a form like the one below:
