My favorite morning greeting is the class handshake because they make it up.  After everyone learns it, it is like a secret handshake we can do anywhere.  The activity is always writing in your journal, it is interactive, and I randomly choose five people a day to share.

It lets my students know that social time is over and it is time for us to begin our learning for the day. 

I believe my classes favorite greeting is definitely saying hello to friends in a different language. Every Monday we pick a new language to learn to say hello in, they are also so shocked, but so eager to greet their friends in this language. The favorite class activity is hot potato. They love it so much they play it at the end of the day while waiting on parents to pick up!

This helps build a connection so that students feel like they are in a safe, friendly, and encouraging environment .

My classes favorite morning meeting is greeting is to say "Good morning _______. What is your favorite ______________?" They seem to ask a good variety of questions and they seem to learn new things about their classmates that they may not have known before.]]> 2017-09-11 02:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186221235 Karlovec https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186227096 Morning meeting sets up what we are going to do for the day and has been slowly getting the kids used to talking to each other and building relationships. They were very hesitant to do any activity that involved talking to students that they didn't regularly hang out with. They've gotten better about that.]]> 2017-09-11 03:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186227096 Salone https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186304569 I love morning meeting and I think the kids enjoy it too. By spending the beginning of the year with lots of greeting, they get to know each other which makes for a better classroom community. It is a nice way to start the day on a good note.]]> 2017-09-11 10:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186304569 Mr. K https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186314195 Morning meeting helps make those connections between teacher and student, and student to student that will help the day go smoother. Morning meeting sets the tone for the day too. Last year the favorite group activity was the group handshake. ]]> 2017-09-11 11:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186314195 Grimes https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186314210 I don't actually have a formal morning meeting each day, but I do get the chance to greet the students on the third floor each morning. This sets the tone for the day by letting them know they are welcomed and safe at our school. If I see a student who looks upset, I always pull them to the side and try to figure out the problem so it doesn't ruin their whole day. ]]> 2017-09-11 11:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186314210 Ford robert_ford https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186314322 I don't run a formal meeting but i have seen many. The student are engaged and enjoy just communicating to each other. Salone connects with them by relating to their weekend activities. ]]> 2017-09-11 11:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186314322 Smith https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186321672 I do not run a formal morning meeting but have been able to see them in other teacher's classrooms.  Morning meetings set the tone for the day and encourage students to build peer relations.  It is also a great way for teachers to learn more about their students.  Morning meetings can also help diffuse anything negative that may have happened to that student prior to arriving to school. 

When I first see my students in the morning I always ask them how their night was and how their morning is going. This helps me to see how they are feeling that day.  ]]> 2017-09-11 12:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186321672 Ms.Cooper https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186358030 Morning meeting is my favorite part of the day, im able to get a feel of my kids and set a tone for the day. You are able to connect a bond from each child. We talk about what happened over the weekends, and what kind of week to look forward too.]]> 2017-09-11 13:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186358030 Darth Gamble https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186390796 Morning are very important to the fabric of what we do here every day. Even before the meeting starts, educators should be able to assess the mood and attitude of a student as they enter the classroom. Once the routine of morning meetings has begun, it is also then that teachers should be able to determine how a student is feeling by any response they give or even their body language as they listen to their classmates. There is sometimes "exterior noise" that gets in the way of a student being focused on whats happening inside the classroom. The can present itself to be an issue if it is not detected and sometimes even ignored. Morning meetings are a time so establish a community and classroom bond with the students and their classmates.
Students sometimes wear into school and class how they feel by the expression on their face and especially what they usually don't take into consideration, their body language. If you are paying close enough attention, those two things will often tell you all you need to know about attempting to get that student back on track so that their day is productive and not tumultuous. ]]> 2017-09-11 14:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186390796 Gura https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186490909 I like morning meetings because they set the tone for the day. Morning meetings can help the students relax, get wiggles out, calm down, etc. It is also good to talk about important reminders and to feel a sense of community. 
My students love on Mondays where we learn how to say hello in a new language. Their favorite activity is where we stand in a circle and make a high-five circle as fast as we can

I think that a quick welcome and ask them about their weekend can set the tone for their day. It also lets me see who hasn't started the day off well and help them turn it around.]]> 2017-09-11 22:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186583879 Morning meeting is a great way to start the day because it gets everyone on the same page. We have the ability to greet everyone. There favorite way to say hello is to give high fives. https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186720008 2017-09-12 11:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/arun_dutt/ts4oubac56k4/wish/186720008
