Morning Meeting for Students with Disabilities

This class is primarily for students with disabilities who may benefit from a regular check-in and review of skills. Non-verbal students can use chat or communication devices throughout the session. Verbal participation is not required. Parents may assist their learners but must remain off-screen. A worksheet will be available if the student would like to record their answers at home. 

Each session will follow a similar format. We will use elements of Responsive Classrooms to promote kindness and respect. 

Greeting: We will start with a welcome song and then greet each other. Each student will be asked to say or indicate their name. They may share their pronouns as well. An opening slide will prompt a choice question, such as do you like cats or dogs?

Calendar: Review the days of the week and months of the year. Name the day and date. 

Share: Review the season and types of weather. Share our own weather and temperature. Share one thing we like about the current weather. 

Literacy Activity: Review the Alphabet through song and activity. Each week will focus on a different letter. Additional activities will practice phonemic awareness (such as rhyming and identifying initial, middle, or ending sounds - based on Heggerty principles) as well as phonic activities such as word families.
