Here are a few more of our “new” style Morning Messages…again, sometimes all you have to do is ask!  I was running out of new ideas to introduce or practice (mainly because it’s the end of the school year) and so I asked the kids what they would like to practice…

Here is another of their creative requests! 🙂

I wanted to mention that one of the things we are doing is editing as we go along.  If one of my students find something that they know is an error, they can erase it and fix-it-up instead of writing in a different answer.  I usually have many more blank lines than I have children and I review each message and help to fill them in as a whole group.  I want each child to have a chance to fill something in.  It’s been interesting to see that some of my struggling students will stand at the board and wait until they find the answer to some of the more complex problems (as complex as they can be in Kindergarten!) and some of my higher students find a quick answer, fill it in, and move on.

They really have been looking forward to these new Morning Messages each day! 🙂
