Sharing in First Grade

Each morning, students join together in a morning meeting.  The class greets each other, shares news, sings a song or playa a game, and also reads a message and reviews the daily activities and events.  Our share time looks a little different than it did in Kindergarten.  Each morning, we designate 2-5 minutes to hear from students about things they are excited to do, have done, hope for, anything about themselves, etc.  INQUIRE with your child what they share about each day/week.  If your child is having trouble with this, please help them practice their news with you in the morning.  This news is a sentence or two and can be very brief!  Thanks for your support at home!
