Morning
Message – Write a message to the children about special activities each
morning before they arrive at school.
Hint! Children will get a kick out of this
message if it is written by a class mascot (aka stuffed animal or puppet).
Good
morning, friends!
Today
is Tuesday, September 15.
It’s
going to be a terrific day!
We
have P.E. with Ms. Coleman
and
it’s Joshua’s birthday.
I’m
so glad you’re here.
Love,
Ted E. Bear
Mirror Mini
Message – Write a short message each day on a classroom mirror with a dry
erase marker. It might be a
“teaser” to interest children in a book you are going to read, it might praise
a child for a special accomplishment, or it might be a reminder to whisper in
the hall.
Pocket Chart
– Use a pocket chart to list songs, nursery rhymes, or cheers children select
each day.
Poems and
Songs – Write words to poems, songs, and finger plays on posters and follow
along as you sing and chant.
Big Books
– Rereads of big books will develop children’s confidence and interest in
reading.
PowerPoints – If
you have an interactive white board you’ll find some great activities at:
kellyskindergarten.com
smartexchange.com
teachhub.com/free-interactive-whiteboard-resources
Voice
Box – Make copies of fluency cards (free on drjean.org) and place them in a
small box. Let children choose a
card and then reread books or poems using that “voice.”
