One of my concerns with the morning meeting idea was that I had no experience with it and I wasn't sure how it would work in the real world. Principal Allan was able to help me understand the real life application of morning meetings. I liked how she said that morning meetings should be thought out but shouldn't necessarily take more planning time.

The morning meeting I foresee in my class will hopefully be as powerful as the ones she had in her class. Sometimes as people we can get lost in the details of the moment, I can totally see my students doing that. I hope to use morning meetings as a way to show my students the big picture of what will be expected throughout the day. With my day mapped out and with morning meeting I can get my class with me on the same page.

I know that many of my students make not be getting the attention that they need and morning meeting will allow them to feel recognized. I want my class to be strong and united. I have hopes that my students will look out for each other. Also I like how morning meetings provide a platform for my students to learn how to act socially. I remember that it was hard learning how to interact with others. I see morning meetings as a place for my students to practice their skills.
