Sharing Ideas
I like to use different sharing prompts every single day of the school year. That might sound like a lot but there are SO many possibilities! It’s amazing the things that I learn about my students over the course of the school year by listening to their responses.

Activity Ideas
In my opinion, morning meeting activities can be the most overwhelming to come up with. I used to put pressure on myself that it had to be a new, original idea every time in order for students to be engaged. But that’s not the case. Your students will have their favourites that they beg to do over and over again. Go with it!
