80 Morning Meeting Ideas for Grades K-2

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!

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!!

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!

I was looking for a morning meeting book for SEL discussion prompts and activities. This does not meet that need, but is instead a great resource for general greetings and sharing prompts. It also includes group activities and suggestions for ways to format your morning messages; however, they did not suit my group of students.

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!

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!

I love this little book! It was mentioned in a Kindergarten blog so I knew I had to get it! I searched the local Teacher supply stores, Barnes and Noble, and local libraries- no one had a copy. I then decided to look on Amazon and there it was!!!! I love everything about this book! It has Morning greeting ideas, Morning messages ideas, and group meeting ideas. There's suggested lessons and options for differentiation! I teach Kindergarten and I have used this book faithfully in my classroom! Thank you!!!!

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.
