Morning Message

As you can imagine, the start of each day in second grade is a flurry of activity!  Upon entering, students greet each other and prepare for the day by signing up for lunch, handing in notes, sharpening pencils, running to the bathroom and more!  To make our morning run a little more smoothly, I post an overhead like the following each morning. 

At the top, students find the date and the day of school.  In the top left corner is a motivational, inspiring, or thought provoking digital poster.  Next to this is a list of their morning assignments. For the start of the year, the morning routine takes up a BIG part of the message.  This will shrink as the year progresses to make room for the Daily Edit.  

In the bottom left is a message from me.  Usually I say hello and post reminders or upcoming special events.

Last, is a Wordle.  I mentioned these in a previous post.  The kids LOVE solving the Wordle and having the class job of Wordler, the person who guide the class through reading the Wordle (and gets to use our interactive pens to do so-SCORE!)   Hope you enjoyed another sneak peek into second grade!
