morning meeting
By Melissa

Here is what I do. First I have the kids complete their morning messages (they each recieve their own in an envelope with their name on it) then I choose a student to read the a.m side of schedule and another for the p.m
and ask for questions about the day. Next I have someone tell me the month, day year and pattenr piece that comes next on the calender ( I do a different pattern each month). We count the days in school using a hundreds pocket chart and note if it is an odd or even day by circling in red or blue. I teach place value using 3 pockets (cut off from a shoe bag) and put diens blocks and tens

rods in to show place (this takes a while for the kids to understand but it pays to start teaching this skill early). We record the out door temperature (I just listen to the radio and get kids in habit of asking parents what day will be like)on a graph and decide what kind of day it is (sunnny etc...)and if there is time they do a quick write in their daily journal. Hope this helps!
