Rise and Shine! Morning Meeting for Upper Elementary Students Summer Edition

*Note: This class is a summer version of my original morning meeting class. This class will only meet once a week for 60 minutes. The original meets 5x a week at 7:35am EST: https://outschool.com/classes/rise-and-shine-morning-meeting-for-upper-elementary-students-GOGJTYAv#usuPHU9GD5*

This class is set up for students to connect with others their age and bond over different discussion topics and activities, as well as get them prepared to start their school day. 

Each week, we will spend class time 1) discussing conflicts and challenges such as responsibility, friendship, decision-making, siblings, etc.; 2) playing a game or activity; and 3) discussing a motivational quote to end the meeting.

Supplies needed: Pencil/Pen, paper or notebook

*Please note, the minimum number of learners for this group is 3. If the minimum is not met in a section, I will contact the parents and either transfer the learner to another section or postpone the section for a week.*
**Please note, this class has a strict age limit of 9-13 years old. Learners younger than 9 years old or older than 13 years old will be withdrawn and refunded.**
