Daily Questions are a way to build early language and literacy skills. Children benefit from a curriculum that helps build on their prior experiences. Daily questions help children recall information in a simple yes no question.

Children will be talking about what happens in winter and spring. After the discussion children will sort picture cards into winter or spring.

Small Group Activities

Matching shadows.

Wanting to change up your morning meeting time?

Morning Messages are a huge hit in my classroom, the kids love coming up and filling in the blanks. They are also a fun way to review skills with everyone.

I also like how I can use these messages in many different ways.

I can use them on the smart board or at a table during small group.
I can put them on my tablet for individual child use.
Or I can send them home for parents to review with their child.

Download your free set and give them a try. Here is what fellow teachers are saying about the Morning Message Sets.
