What kids do
“Check off what you notice during morning meeting. Over a week you will see who needs a turn or a nudge.”
Teacher tip
Focus on a few students each day instead of all 14 at once.
How to use it
- Model each greeting or game before kids try it.
- Use the same order each day: greeting, share, activity, message.
- Keep a stack of copies in a labeled tray so you can grab one without stopping the lesson.
Watch for
Greetings with touch. Always give a no-touch option, like a wave or an air high five.
Talk about it
- What did you learn about a classmate today?
- How can this help you be ready to learn?
Take it further
Invite a family member or the principal to join one meeting.
