Morning Messages at Kirkpatrick
Kindergarten Message
Ms. Davis engages all students by passing out punctuation cards to everyone. Children hold up the correct punctuation marks. One child is selected to write the correct mark in the box. They also edit for capitalization.
1st Grade Message
Ms. Murrie integrates Word Study into her morning routines. Students slide words under correct headings after they eat breakfast. This might be an incentive for students to eat faster.
4th Grade Message
Ms. Kleeman allows students to create the message. Notice how the message ties in curriculum and behavior expectations. This helps build class culture. Students are taking ownership for expectations.
