More Morning Meetings!

Help me give my students a warm and welcoming morning meeting space that we can use throughout the day and during circle.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Scoufaras's classroom raised $261

My Project

Picture this: It is a busy Monday morning. Students are filing into the classroom, unpacking and sharing with their peers. They join together at our rug for morning meeting, a time when we gather to share, prepare for the day and collaborate in daily lessons and routines. But something is missing! A child-friendly focal point and bulletin board to help ground us and organize our daily morning meeting routine.

In order to conduct a morning meeting, and to ensure routines are being met within a classroom throughout the day, several resources are needed such as a classroom calendar, a job chart, and a schedule chart.

In addition, surrounding these resources with warm and welcoming materials like fabrics, lights, message boards and bulletin board borders which help to define the wall space, all make it a more welcoming and dedicated space for learning.

If funded, this project will give our classroom a much needed morning meeting facelift and upgrade. It will provide new pocket charts and pieces for a calendar and schedule chart. A feelings chart, new job chart, a tabletop book display for our daily read aloud are also included. Finally, it will provide cozy additions such as lights and a message board to make our students feel at home.

Help our students come in on that Monday morning to a child-friendly morning meeting area so that they can start each day, month, and the entire year welcomed, ready and excited for learning at our circle.
