Morning Routines
Each morning Mr. Lee picks us up from the basketball courts. We come into the classroom quietly and we say the Pledge of Allegiance and recite the preamble to the Declaration of Independence. Let me recite the preamble for you….
Then it’s time for homeroom reading!

Reading Reading takes up a lot of
our morning. It is the time when we focus on reading including reading strategies, comprehension, vocabulary, and literary elements.
Most weeks we have a “menu” of different things to work on during the week when we aren’t reading or meeting with Mr. Lee.

I think I could work more on…

Because we have such a long morning, we need a morning

We need a little fuel to keep our minds going for reading. Most days, we take a working snack break where I can have something at my desk. My favorite snack to bring is…..
