Morning Activity
By Jessica

Clip to ScrapBook   
Each morning, my 5th Graders know the routine! They come in the room and look at the board. The first activity of the day is: THE QUESTION OF THE DAY. I write the question on the board. They are to copy the question down
in their folder, date it, and then answer it. A few of our questions have been: What is a desparado? How many Providences does Canada have? Name them. When did Labor Day start? What is an arcitect? and so on. They can find the information in encycolapedia and on the Internet (I bring up a page with the info on it for them to read through, so I don't have them wandering into strage sites.)
Then I write under that what I want them to get started on next. Usually it's hand in their homework, and then work on their monthly activity packet until everyone is finished. Works great.
