46. Launching Morning Meeting in Kindergarten

How do I introduce morning meeting to my students? That’s what this episode is about. I discuss the detailed process of implementing morning meetings in kindergarten, following the Responsive Classroom approach. The morning meeting includes key elements such as greetings, calendar discussions, and sharing activities, all crucial for building a sense of community within the classroom. By gradually introducing these components, students become more comfortable interacting with each other and expressing themselves. The podcast explores various strategies for organizing student participation in sharing activities and highlights the importance of creating a welcoming environment for students. Through activities like singing songs, reading aloud, and playing games, morning meetings can be made dynamic and engaging, fostering a positive classroom environment for meaningful interactions throughout the school year.In this episode I share:challenges and strategies for morning meeting introductionssecond day of morning meeting: greetings and activitiesintroducing calendar routine and expanding morning meetingengaging activities and games in morning meetingexploring creative greetings and sharing activitiesencouraging news sharing in morning meetingRelated Blog Posts:How to Organize Your Kindergarten Morning MeetingEasy Activities for a Morning Meeting GreetingResources Mentioned:Classroom Community BundleKindergarten Morning Meeting Engaging RoutinesGreetings - Morning Meeting in KindergartenConnect with Zeba:Instagram - @kindergartencafeFacebook - @kindergartencafeWebsite - www.kindergartencafe.orgTik Tok - @kindergartencafeMentioned in this episode:Trixie the Thoughtful TurtleLearn more about the newest Caring Critters book: Trixie the Thoughtful Turtle https://www.kindergartencafe.org/trixie/
