Embedded in my morning meeting with responsive classroom practices...

* Recognizing and managing emotions

* Demonstrating care and concern for others

* Establishing positive relationships

* Making responsible decisions

Morning Meeting is VERY important in building community and partnership in the classroom. 

Each meeting begins with an interactive greeting. Next, is a share question that helps us to get to know eachother better and find some commonalities. Then, we do a fun activity that requires teamwork so that we get better at working together. Finally, the kids read through our morning message with me that helps us begin our day on a positive note. 

Chill Chair:  A place to chill out when we are out of the green zone.
