Morning Message 2/26/10

Good Morning and Happy Friday! Today is February 26, 2010       
Tiger Day: S
Day 108 of School, 72 days left

For the moment, it’s important that you ignore the materials set out on your desk! Ms. Bragg is busy getting ready for our research session. We will start our research after morning announcements. For now, unpack and get started on your to-do list. Thanks!

REMINDER:
Content ends at 9:25am and Math begins at 9:30am.

This Morning:

• First, we’ll play a word study game-- see to-do list below.
• Then we’ll do some research on important figures from the American Revolution. We’ll be rotating pods, so that everyone gets a chance to work with the materials. We may not finish this morning, in which case we’ll do some more research this afternoon.

To-Do List:

1. Complete your morning routine! Don’t forget about snack!
2. Wish at least 2 colleagues a “Happy Friday!”
3. Find a partner to play the word study game we learned yesterday. Choose just one person’s set of words. Then find a convenient spot. You’ll take turns. One person “writes” out the word on the other’s back or arm, while the other person guesses the word then uses it in the sentence. The “writer” lets the “guesser” know if they’re correct. Then switch!
