Morning Message!!

From Morning Message to Digital Morning Message: Moving from the tried and true to the new  by Linda D. Labbo 

Although teaching early childhood is not my dream job, I do have some experience working in primary age classrooms. Almost every classroom I am in has used a Morning Message in the beginning of the day. Traditionally, a Morning Message, is a whole group writing assignment where the teacher leads the group in writing an authentic piece about the going-ons in the school for the day. Usually it is done with different students coming up to the blackboard. This articles tells about how the Morning Message can be done using a digital program such as KidPix or Powerpoint. Students can use these programs to illustrate the morning message, or use the reading application to hear the morning message read aloud. It also helps students get used to using a computer to type, write and express their thoughts.
