More than $20 5th Grade Classroom Community Activities

Do you need a full year of Morning Meeting Questions and extra seasonal questions to keep your students engaged?

Building Community

Morning Meeting Questions help create a positive classroom community by giving students an opportunity to interact with each other and the teacher in a relaxed and supportive environment. This can help build trust, relationships, and a sense of belonging among students.

Setting the Tone for the Day

Morning Meeting Questions can set the tone for the rest of the day by creating a positive and productive learning environment. They can help students feel more engaged and ready to learn, and they can provide a sense of structure and routine that can be helpful for students of all ages.

This Morning Meeting Bundle has Morning Meeting Questions for your whole school year and seasonal ones as well. You are able to use the questions every morning. You can use one seasonal question and then one of the yearly questions during your morning meeting time. 

Classroom Management Strategies

Using Morning Meeting Questions is a great strategy to add to your classroom management toolbox. The questions will help you build those strong connections between students and between students and you. Building strong connections will lead to reduced behavioral problems.  The connections will also lead to a stronger sense of classroom management.

The bundle includes:

• 180 Morning Meeting Questions (A full year of editable Google slides!)

Imagine an academic year where students and educators alike grow, learn more about themselves and others, integrating mindful activities seamlessly throughout the school day. 

Imagine a classroom that is regulated, calm and present. 
Everything you need in one product. 
When practiced regularly, witness improved behavior outcomes, social skills, and overall social-emotional development of students.
We know you don’t want to have to learn another initiative.
We know you want something that works.
We know you don’t have a lot of time to spare.
Believe me, working in schools the past 17 years has taught me that educators need proven techniques that they can use simply.
We have your back and we understand the pressures of time, testing, busyness, distraction, and stress!
If you can do a little each day for yourself and your class, you will see the shift happen.

What does the shift look like?
It's returning to focus with less drama and emotional outbursts.
It’s putting a pause between impulse and action...in other words, self-control.
It’s freeing up your time from behavior management to connect with students.
It's easier transitions.
It’s learning along with your students, growing together.
It's your students feeling your love and presence.
