Ms. Martin's 5th Grade class starts the day with a "Morning Meeting." Morning meetings in the classroom offer numerous benefits, fostering a positive learning environment and enhancing students' social-emotional skills.
Morning Meetings help build a sense of community. They offer students a safe space where they can connect, share, and learn about each other, fostering a sense of belonging and community. Students are given opportunities to express themselves, share ideas, and take leadership roles, which boosts their confidence and engagement.
Finally, morning meetings provide a consistent routine that can help students feel secure and understand what to expect each day, setting them up for success.
