Morning Meeting
The morning meeting was one component that was
rated by our staff as very important to the success of the academic and social
goals we have for Holiday Park. So, without much PD we are jumping in feet
first.
Hopefully this document will help. At the bottom
there are links to some articles and videos that should be helpful as well.
Please remember that the morning meeting will be part of our day for the entire
year. This practice does not stop after the first 9 days. This will be one of
the most important parts of our day as we develop relationships with our
students and learn to “see” potential triggers or concerns first thing in the morning,
which will allow us to be more proactive than reactive.
The Four Components of the Morning Meeting:
1.Greeting:
Children greet each other by name, often including
handshaking, clapping, singing, and other activities.
2.Sharing:
Students share some news of interest to the class
and respond to each other, practicing communication skills and learning about
one another.
3.Group Activity:
The whole class does a short activity together,
building class cohesion through active participation.
4. News and Announcements:
Students develop language skills and learn about
the events in the day ahead by reading and discussing a daily message posted on
a chart by their teacher.
