Morning Messages - Best Way to Start your Day!

Ready to change how you do morning work? Looking for some new ideas? I have written several posts about my morning message system that is a spiral review of important reading skills. It is also differentiated which helps when your class includes a range of ability levels.  (Morning messages from my April file are shown above.)

Post #1: My morning routine which includes management tips.

Post #2: Hectic schedule this year? Set up morning messages as a writing center. This post includes tips.

Post #3: Improve your students' handwriting with morning messages.
