Morning Meeting
There is a wonderful new beginning to our day! It is called Morning Meeting and it is a great way to build community, set a positive tone, increase excitement about learning and improve academic and social skills. Morning Meeting takes place first thing in the morning after everyone has arrived and completed their morning responsibilities. We gather on the rug in a circle. We begin by greeting each other. Next, a few students share some interesting news followed by conversation with the class. After sharing, there is an activity for the whole class. We might sing a song, play a game, or practice an academic skill. Finally, we read the news and announcments which helps us think about the activities and learning for the day.
