Every morning, but Wednesdays, we have morning meetings in our classroom. These meetings are intended to get our day started on the right foot. We greet each other by name, share by answering a question, read a picture book of the day and then do a group activity. It is a wonderful way to build community and to remind kids that they are not alone, physically or with their emotions. Today students played the game Chicken, Egg, Dinosaur by playing Rock, Paper Scissors. Some kids made it all the way to Superhero, which is the top. It was so wonderful to see smiles, hear giggles, and start our day off in a positive way. The book is hilarious, too! |
