Morning Message

Every Morning I write a little note on the board for my Kinder class and we read it together. I list what activities we have planned for the day, who will be line leader etc. The kids enjoy it and are doing most of the reading now. I mainly point at each word and then help with sounding out words when needed. It is always signed the same-Love, Ms.Kearns. My Mom use to do a Morning Message with her class the whole time she taught and her kids loved it too. Ofcourse she signed it Love,Mrs.Kearns. She used to say it was important to let the kids know that you care about them. She was such an amazing teacher and I know her kids she taught felt very loved. I am still in contact with one of my Mom's former students. She is a very close friend. She is now all grown-up and married and is expecting her first baby. My Mom would be so proud of her.
Everyday when I write the Morning Message and read it too-I think of my Mom. I also hope my class knows how much I care about them. I was so blessed to have a teaching mentor like my Mom.
