Morning Meeting

One of our daily routines is having a Morning Meeting. After students come in, put away their folders, hand in homework, sign in for lunch and do their morning work, we have our Morning Meeting. This is a great way to start the day. 

First we do a greeting. Right now we are learning different ways of saying "hello" in other languages. We will be learning new greetings throughout the year. 

Next we do an activity or sharing. On Monday's we share one thing that we did over the weekend. On Friday's we share one thing that we are looking forward to and/or want to do over the weekend. Sometimes we share about different favorite things. One of the activities that we do is "Shake Down." Throughout the year we will be learning and trying more activities.

We end with going over the calendar and the schedule for the day. This time is a great way to welcome everyone and get centered, calm and ready to learn for the day!
