Another kid-written morning message

I love to see what my kids write for the morning message.  At this point in the year, I am surrounded every morning by several kids asking to write the morning message. Here's the translation for this one:
"Dear boys and girls,
This is Thursday.You will go to gym.  We will go outside but it depends on the weather.We will read about a leprechaun.
Love,
Nation Roberts"
When you consider that most couldn't even write their names a few short months ago, this is pretty amazing. And I love seeing them excited about writing. I love my job, especially in the spring!!

Morning Message

    This is the time of year that everything starts coming together in kindergarten -- all the days of repetition start to pay off, and these 5 and 6 year old kids make me proud.  Yesterday I asked one of my girls to write the morning message -- she's been doing some good writing in class, and I thought she might be ready.  She was!! Except for "Dear grrls and buss," she spelled nearly everything correctly, even carefully copying "Thursday" from the calendar.  It is so satisfying to see them using all the rules for "5 Star Writing." 
  •  Start with a capital
  •  Punctuation at the end of sentences.
  •  Spaces between words
  •  Neat
  •  Makes sense
       Now I have others eagerly waiting for their turn to write -- I LOVE MY JOB!!
