➡️What makes my SEL Morning Meeting resources unique? They go far beyond simple morning meeting questions and greetings, packing the most punch into the very small amount of time our teacher schedules allow for morning meetings or classroom community building while targeting common themes in literature and your grade level's ELA standards. Students who experience SEL morning meetings develop a strong understanding of themes in literature because this and other ELA skills are integrated into the morning meeting routine!
