Daily Jobs

Each day, your child has a special job to complete. While some jobs help us get ready for lessons, keep our classroom tidy, others are more focused on academic pieces.  One job in particular is reading the morning message during morning meeting.  While some of the text in the message is the same everyday, there is always a new sentence in which students have to decode to read to the class.  All students read the message to themselves and echo the "message pointer/reader."  Students practice a range of reading strategies and apply their learning during this time.  INQUIRE with your child what is often written in the morning message.  What reading strategies do they practice if they're the reader?
