Click the week to get everything you need!
These are resources you may want to use in your classroom for the first week or two of school, but are not required. It has a lot of lessons on things like morning routine, how to greet others, classroom expectations, answering questions and their physical/emotional environment which are longer than typical Morning Meeting lessons so there is no way to use it all. Pick and choose what works for you and your classroom in addition to week 1 lessons or just go right to the week 1 lessons. Click HERE for lesson demos. *note: there is not a 6th grade First 8 Days Resource so we are linking the 5th grade resource above as we feel it would still be beneficial.
