My Project

Creating a calm, structured, and engaging start to the school day is essential for young learners. The materials for this project—a designated meeting rug, bins for morning STEM activities, morning bins for smooth transitions, and a paper roll and dispenser for the morning message—will make a meaningful difference in my students’ learning. These items will help establish consistency and routine, giving students a reliable structure they can count on each morning. The rug offers a clear, welcoming space where students gather together, setting the tone for community. Morning bins and STEM activities allow for purposeful, hands-on engagement right away, helping students settle into the day calmly and confidently. The morning message paper lets us practice reading, build anticipation for the day, and spark meaningful conversations tied to academics and social-emotional learning.

My goal is that this project will help ensure that each child begins their day feeling safe, seen, and ready to learn.

The four components of morning meeting are more than just rituals—they are powerful tools for developing empathy, listening skills, collaboration, and confidence. Through daily greetings and sharing, students learn to see and value one another. The activity builds a sense of fun and teamwork, while the morning message helps build literacy and communication skills in a real-world, meaningful context. Together, these routines foster a sense of belonging, which is the foundation for deeper learning and positive classroom culture.

What makes my students special is their curiosity, kindness, and the way they show up for each other each day. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique strengths to our classroom community. Many benefit from strong visual cues, consistent routines, and opportunities to connect with peers in structured ways. With these supports in place, they will continue to thrive—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well.
