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!

Still overwhelmed?

I get it. The first year I did daily meetings with my students I was constantly on the search for fun ideas for morning meeting. So, what did I do?

I hunkered down to plan an entire year’s worth of morning meetings. 

It was a long and tedious process but I am so excited to have my ideas for morning meeting all mapped out now.
