The purpose of our morning meeting is to build community, set a positive tone, increase excitement about learning, and improve academic and social skills.
Morning Meeting takes between 15 to 30 minutes and is broken down into 4 parts: Greeting, Sharing, Activity, News/Announcements. Students will greet each other, this will be done in a variety of different ways. A few students will get the chance to share something that is interesting to them, we will rotate daily so every student gets a chance to share, followed by a short question and answer about their share. We then will do a quick activity that might involve learning a new skill, song, or game or participating in an activity where students learn team work and build their community. We will end our morning meeting going over what will be happening that day. I am excited to implement this program in the classroom and in the process, better get to know my students.
