morning message
By Lila

I really don't like the morning message. But I use it almost everyday. In the beginning of the year the messages are short. Today is Monday. We will have gym today. I hope you wore your sneakers. Later on it becomes
longer and deals with topics/themes we are studying. I also add blanks for letters. The students need to fill them in. I may add some math stuff also. To_day is _onday October, __ __, 200_. 5, _10, __, 20
I discuss sentences, grammar, commas, speech bubbles, spelling words, special words, anything that we've been discussing in our L.A. portion. In fact, it's kinda a review. It

is a great learning time for all.
Now, I don't like it because the time it takes to write every day. At times it is difficult to come up with exciting things to say. A few years ago I wrote down every message. That helped because now I just have to copy them with few changes. I did see a suggestion on this board that one person writes all her messages for the week before hand. Now why didn't i think of that? I think that's a great idea. I will try that this year. - I teach 1st by the way.
