Detailed Description:

You will receive 40 weeks (180 days) of morning meeting slides. Each week includes a day for Monday-Friday. Each day has the following structure:

"Today Is (Monday)": Leave this slide as it is or drag over one of 27 creative sticky notes to write a quick message to your class. These slides are customizable.

"Hello Class": There are 30 fun greetings that repeat throughout the year to keep things fresh but also help students learn each greeting so they are able to carry them out easily. The greetings are interactive and designed to be done either in partners or with the whole class. These slides are not editable.

"Let's Talk": There are 180 conversation starters. They vary between "Would You Rather", "Topic Prompts" and "Fascinating Facts Guessing". This time of sharing helps students to get to know each other, practice listening and model public speaking skills. Depending on the time you have, you can have students join in partners to share, raise their hand to share with the class, or go around the circle to have each child share. These slides are not editable.

"Get Moving": There are 30 activities that repeat throughout the year to get your students up and moving. The repetition will help your class to learn each game so you can spend your time playing instead of directing. Each game is designed to be played with either partners or as a whole class and have been chosen to foster teamwork and communication. These slides are not editable

"Teacher's Message": Write a quick note to your class and drag over images to celebrate birthdays, create seasonal themes, add announcements, reminders, or include daily objectives. There are 62 drag and drop images that you can use to customize these slides anyway you want. The images include sticky notes, arrows, school images, seasonal images, holiday images, and birthday frames. These slides are customizable.

"Growth Mindset": Twenty positive growth mindset statements are included. The goal is for students to memorize these over the course of the year so the statements become a part of their inner voice. Each statement is reviewed for a full week for the first 20 weeks. On Monday, the class will read the statement aloud (chorally) 2-3 times. Tuesday-Thursday, a few of the words will be covered with moveable yellow boxes to aid in memorization. On Friday, the entire statement is covered. After the first 20 weeks, these statements are reviewed throughout the year. These slides are interactive.

Digital Calendar: You will receive an additional file containing a Digital Calendar (30 slides). Both Google Slides and PowerPoint are included. If a Digital Calendar is right for your class, you can drag and drop the slides into your Morning Meeting slides. The Digital Calendar includes the following:

"Digital Calendar-Days of the Week": Drag and drop "Yesterday", "Today", and "Tomorrow" onto the days of the week. 1 slide

"Digital Calendar-Months of the Year": Drag and drop "Last Month", "This Month", and "Next Month" onto the months of the year. 1 slide

Digital Calendar-Calendar": Each of the 12 months are included. Drag and drop the numbers onto the calendar each day. 12 slides

"Digital Calendar-How Many Days Have We Been In School?": Type in the number of days that you have been in school. Drag and drop the base ten blocks to show the number of days. 1 slide

"Digital Calendar-Number of the Day": Your number of the day can be any number including how many days you have been in school. Drag and drop tally marks, ten frames, and fill in the number sense cross using the hundred chart. 2 slides

"Digital Calendar-Weather Graph": Students look out the window and choose one of the seven pictures to describe the weather for the day. Record daily weather observations in a weather graph. Make a picture graph by dragging and dropping the same weather pictures or make a bar graph by dragging and dropping yellow blocks.

Editable: Three "Hello Class" slides to use to add your own text, one "Let's Talk" slide to use to add your own text, three "Get Moving" slides to use to add your own text, one "Let's Talk" slide to use to add your own text, and three "Digital Calendar" slides. The images are not editable.

Time: Each day will take approximately 15-20 minutes but can be easily shortened or lengthened depending on how much time you spend on sharing. The structure of each day is the same helping students to predict expectations and eliminate the need for directions after the first few weeks. Consistency is key!
