Building Community
During the past two weeks we have been focusing on building our classroom community. One of the ways we do that is through our daily Morning Meeting. Morning Meeting consists of four parts: Greeting, Share, Activity, and Message. The goal of morning meeting is to start our day off in a positive way. Today our greeting was called “What’s the News?” Students ask each other what their news is and then everyone has a chance to share something they did over the weekend. We heard about the State Fair, a Cubs game, playing outside, and so many other exciting activities. It is so great to see the children listening to one another and wanting to get to know their friends better. Our activities are fun songs or games where we can practice teamwork. Our message explains what we will be doing that day for example, today the kids were pumped to learn that we are taking care of the chickens this week!
