Welcome to Morning Meetings! This is how we start our day from 8:30-8:45
What is morning meeting?
It is a place where we gather as a class to start the day. We create a circle, more like in oval in our class, and work on our core values of RISE. This means we show respect to each other by only talking when it's our turn and respectfully agreeing by snapping instead of making comments.
We have currently been focusing on getting to know each other by answering various questions like:
What's your favorite candy/candy bar and why?
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
What's something you enjoy doing with your family?
Etc.
We also play quick games like "rock, paper, scissors", "gotcha", "4-corners", etc as a way to build camaraderie.
I am hoping to turn this meeting over to my students to run in the near future, meaning they will generate what we talk about and the games we play.
Welcome to Connect 21! We end our day together working on Passion Projects and learning skills needed for everyday life.
LifeSkills - Every Wednesday, except the last Wednesday of the month. Do you have the skills to handle what life throws at us?
