Morning Meeting is thought to be only for lower elementary students but that is not true! As students get older, they require safe spaces to talk and work through their increasingly changing social lives. Social Emotional Learning has become increasingly important since most schools across the country have gone virtual. 

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 morning (or afternoon or night depending on where you're from :) ), we will spend 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.
