Sometimes the topic for the share comes in the form of the question posed in the morning message as shown above.įinally the group game or activity, which might arguably be the favorite of most students during morning meeting occurs. Each student gets a chance to talk about how they feel and share about what’s important to them. Students are asked how they feel and show their responses by giving a thumbs up, thumbs to the side or thumbs down. After the greeting song in Kindergarten, the students perform a body check in. This can take on many forms as well but the main goal is that everyone is able to have their voice be heard as they talk about their thoughts, ideas and experiences. At the end of the song, all of the students get the opportunity to stand up and dance together.Īnother piece of morning meeting is a share. When the student hears their name, they either wave, clap or dance. In the Kindergarten class, the morning meeting starts with a song played on the ukulele where every student gets a chance to greet their classmates. Currently one of the favorite greetings in 2nd grade is saying hello in different languages. Students greet each other by name in a variety of ways as they say good morning. The next component of morning meeting is a greet. Here are some examples of recent morning messages in first and second grade. This message is written in a friendly letter format and either reviews something that we have previously talked about or sets the groundwork for that day’s events. As students enter the classroom, one of the first things they do is read the morning message. There are four parts to a morning meeting: a greeting, sharing, a group activity/game and news & announcements that are usually presented in a daily morning message. Morning Meetings are an integral part of our day as they build a strong sense of community and set the tone for a positive and inclusive day. Such simple words but yet so powerful! At PNA, we start each morning with a morning meeting as part of the Responsive Classroom approach that we utilize in our classrooms.
