Gathering in the Morning as a Community

In Kindergarten we begin each day together on our meeting rug where we say hello, do an activity and read a morning message.  Our morning message contains news, celebrations and ideas we are exploring.  Reading a message together like this each day helps us explore how we read.

 We discovered these ideas on Thursday while we read together:
1. When we read, we read left to right like we do when we read our morning message.
2. We stop and take a breath when we see a period.

3. We notice words that have special features like th, sh and ch.
4. We can see sight words and we even noticed sight words inside of other words.
