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

There are many beginning-of-the-year questions to create strong connections between you and your students. 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 following Google Slide each morning for that day. There are 20 EDITABLE and DIVERSE slides just for the month of August! If you use my Morning Meeting Question of The Day (180 slides), you can use one question from that and one seasonal or monthly question each day. You would just ask two questions a day instead of one! =)

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 August Question of The Day will create deep relationships between you and your students! If you have my other Morning Meeting Slides then 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 or 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

“Morning meetings are an excellent way to help students transition from home to school and help them get ready to learn. In addition, these meetings can help you connect with your students, help students build relationships with each other, and promote an overall sense of community in the classroom.” -Centervention

The topics and what is included:

• 20 pages of editable Google Slides. 
• Diverse, beautiful pictures with questions.
• No worksheets.

This assessment tool provides a tailored and effective method for evaluating and enhancing students' reading abilities, ultimately promoting literacy success in the French K-2 classroom. By incorporating the principles of the Science of Reading, this tool ensures a systematic and evidence-based approach to evaluating reading progress.

Phonemic awareness, which focuses on recognizing and manipulating individual sound in words, is integrated to improve French students' ability to decode and spell words accurately. Additionally, phonological awareness, which involves understanding the sound structure of language is emphasized to enhance overall language and reading skills.

I developed this with a dear friend long ago so we could easily keep track of our assessments for Kindergarten students. Flash forward a few years (many years, actually) and I have now been able to incorporate my knowledge of Science of Reading and concepts from the resources we use in our Province to assess students learning French in a variety of learning environments.

I now teach a group of Grade 1s and a group of Grade 2s and use this assessment tool 3 times a year! Game changer!

How to use this:

Make enough copies for each student in your classroom and assign an assessment binder for data collection.

I use the first two sheets at the beginning of the year in order to inform where my reading program needs to start.

Use the tool throughout the school year to chart progress and to see areas of concern

You can also start to see trends and areas of need where you may need to review certain sounds as a whole class or perhaps a small group.

What's in the resource?

- 8 Assessment pages

-simple sounds, alphabet sounds that are in random order

-les sons complexes: ou, on, an, in, oin, eu, au, eau, etc

-beginning blends: ba, pi, to, gu, etc.

-CVC combinations

-nonsense syllables that test the decoding skills of students once they have mastered the basic sounds and complex sounds

-data tracking boxes at the bottom of each page for three times a year of evaluation

-quick reference so you can track each students' trajectory

What grade level is appropriate?

I use this resource in my Grade 1 and 2 classrooms and our Kindergarten team use this resource at the end of term 1 and end of the year for data collection.

I would love to know how you are using this product in your classroom. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have anything to say about this resource. I love helping teachers as much as I can. A product review also is a great way of letting me know, and leaving a review earns you extra credit for more amazing TeachShare products!
