WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I love these morning meeting units! One of these days I'm going to have to go in for a bundle of them. Even without using them in exactly the same way they are suggested to be used, I find them so valuable. I feel like my students are building community, learning incredibly valuable social-emotional skills, and working on literacy skills at the same time. Thank you for creating these!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is an outstanding resource---very complete and thought-out. My school is doing "perseverance" as the character trait of the month. I purchased it so that I could incorporate the ready-made slides into my daily slides. Worked like a charm. I'm so glad I purchased."

➡️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!
