2nd Grade Reading Google Apps

Do your students need Morning Meeting ideas? Using different Morning Meeting ideas can lead to tremendous growth academically and socially. The fun Morning Meeting questions can be utilized along with your greeting and other activities.  The spring Morning Meeting questions should be used during the month of March with your students but could be used during other months too. 

There are Mardi Gras questions, St. Patrick Days questions, Women's History questions, and Deaf and Hard of Hearing questions to celebrate the different holidays in March. All of the questions are on Google Slides that can be used every morning during your Morning Meeting routine. All you have to do is bring up the next Google Slide each morning for that day. There are 20 EDITABLE and DIVERSE slides just for the month of March! 

Students will create connections and develop deep discussions with the questions.  Therefore, the skills they are learning during Morning Meeting will lead to connections within their reading texts. Students who practice those skills outside of reading will most likely utilize those same skills while reading. 

Additionally, the March Question of The Day will create deep relationships between you and your students! If you have my other Morning Meeting Slides than you understand how powerful these questions can be!  

This is also an excellent resource to use with your remote learners or to assign to your students’ laptops. You could assign one or more slides to their learning management system for morning meetings and writing or reading activities. 

“Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically.” -Responsive Classroom

Dive into the world of reading with our Digital CVC Word Decoding Activity! Designed to enhance phonics skills and promote word recognition, this interactive resource provides students with engaging opportunities to decode CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) words. On each slide, students will encounter three words to decode by sounding out using letter sounds.

As students work through the activity, they'll employ phonemic awareness strategies to decode each word, sounding out the individual phonemes and blending them together to form the complete word. Once decoded, students will then match the provided images to the corresponding words, reinforcing vocabulary and comprehension.

Why You'll Love This Product:

• Enhanced Phonics Skills: Strengthen phonemic awareness and decoding abilities with a hands-on activity that promotes active engagement and learning.
• Interactive Learning: Keep students motivated and focused with interactive elements that encourage participation and provide immediate feedback.
• Reinforces Vocabulary: Build students' sight word vocabulary and comprehension as they match images to decoded words, reinforcing word-picture associations.
• Flexible Use: Perfect for use in the classroom, homeschooling, or remote learning environments, providing versatile literacy practice for young readers.
• Promotes Independence: Empower students to take ownership of their learning as they decode words and match corresponding images independently.

Who This Product Is For:

1. Kindergarten Teachers: Supplement phonics instruction with an interactive activity that reinforces decoding skills in a fun and engaging way.

2. First Grade Teachers: Provide additional practice opportunities for young readers to strengthen CVC word decoding skills and build confidence.

3. Homeschooling Parents: Enhance at-home literacy learning with a digital resource that supports phonics development and word recognition.

Morning Meeting Questions help create a positive classroom community by giving students an opportunity to interact with each other and the teacher in a relaxed and supportive environment. This can help build trust, relationships, and a sense of belonging among students.

Setting the Tone for the Day

Morning Meeting Questions can set the tone for the rest of the day by creating a positive and productive learning environment. They can help students feel more engaged and ready to learn, and they can provide a sense of structure and routine that can be helpful for students of all ages.

This Morning Meeting Bundle has Morning Meeting Questions for your whole school year and seasonal ones as well. You are able to use the questions every morning. You can use one seasonal question and then one of the yearly questions during your morning meeting time. 

Classroom Management Strategies

Using Morning Meeting Questions is a great strategy to add to your classroom management toolbox.
