Sharing, a component of our morning meeting is a powerful activity each morning. Once a week, students step up in front of their class and share a memorable experience, object, or small moment from their life. During this time, students and teachers get to know each other's likes, dislikes, memorable moments, and learn what they do outside of school. The students and myself are provided this opportunity to get to know each other better - and the more I know your child, their interests, challenges, strengths, and all about their lives, the more deeper and richer the learning will be throughout the day and more cohesive and empathetic our classroom community is. Sharing also provides an opportunity for students to practice speaking effectively in a different situation - in front of 18 people! Classmates also have the opportunity to listen to their peers and ask questions in response to their story or personal experience - a skill that benefits all!
