Morning Meeting

Articles

Morning Meeting is a particular and deliberate way to begin the day in elementary school in which all classroom members—grown-ups and students—gather in a circle, greet each other, and listen and respond to each other’s news. Morning Meeting is made up of four sequential components: greeting, sharing, group activity, and morning message. The components intentionally provide opportunities for students to practice the skills of greeting, listening and responding, group problem-solving, and noticing and anticipating. Morning Meeting is also a great opportunity to practice academic skills.
