80 Morning Meeting Ideas for Grades K-2

Even after 27 yrs. In education there is always room to change things up and grow!! After researching online on Amazon and reading LOTS of reviews, I purchased this book, "Morning Meetings", and ",The First 6 Weeks of School" just to follow it along, implementing morning mtgs in the planning of the day. THEN, I found a digital M.M. purchase on a teacher site so I wldnt have to write so much. Plus it can make it an interactive activity implementing all of the things I learned in these books. It displays right on the w.b. You cld do that yourself, but I just thought I'd suggest it so maybe you cld either think of starting to build M.M. ideas on PowerPoint slides that area editable and cld be reused again and again, it look to purchase some already done. There cld already be something on Amazon but I never looked. Good luck shaping your new classroom....I'm problem going to do mine 3-4 days a week. Right now I cant seem to fit very many closing circles in, but I'm working on it! Total game changer from last year, btw....so happy!!

I love this book for an easy go to of greetings, prompts for sharing, and activities for the class. When I have little planning time, but still want all that Morning Meeting offers for my students, I just grab the book and teach it. It's also helped expand my thinking to new ideas!

I was sold on the first day of using this book. It is written in a way that is easy to understand and use. My students have begged to do some of the greeting activities over and over. It is a great way to help children learn positive ways to interact with other children and to encourage them to step away from their "besties" and learn the value of new relationships! I have only use this book a week, but I have to say it is my favorite addition to what I'm doing different this year!

Useful ideas.

Excellent resource. I liked it so much, I asked my principal to buy a copy for the other K-2 teachers in our building! Easy activities to use and the book is a quick resource. The writing and layout of the book is made for teachers that don't have the time to read through page after page to get to the activity. One activity per page and those activities that need materials, use materials that are readily available in the classroom. Love it!

This little book is a very handy guide to keep in the classroom to help continually keep your morning meetings fresh with new ideas for greetings, sharing, and activities. If you already have the original Morning Meeting book, this is a great one to add to your collection to boost your repertoire with some new plans that kids will love. Some can be implemented on a moment's notice while some take a little more time or planning, but they are all great things to introduce to K-2 classes.

Didn't end up using this book as much as I thought I would, but it gave me a starting point for the year. My kids BEG me to do morning meetings and I can tell a difference from last year's class to this year's and the relationships I've been able to build through morning meetings. At the start of the year, we did morning meeting every day to get to know each other. Now we just do it every friday. The important thing is to set up rules for morning meeting and really stick to them. If my students misbehave, then they lose their MM privilege for the following week. They self-police and keep each other in check because they don't want to skip a whole week without MM.

Highly recommend this book for grades K-2 to kick start your morning meeting routine. Great greeting ideas!

Excellent book of ideas to go along with the book "The First Six Weeks of School" I can't wait to start using it.

Straightforward, lovely ideas

It was worth the money.
