Reflect on what you learned about creating community in your classroom from our visitor, Sylvia Allan.

Morning Meetings build community by giving students the opportunities to get to know each other and build relationships. They learn things about their peers that might not ever have known and are able to make connections with each other. It creates and builds students that care about themselves and others. They begin to share each others happinesses, sadness, success and failures. They learn to empathize. They learn skills like meeting and greeting new people, sharing, communicating, working together to achieve a common goal and they have Fun together! Loved the class! It was great to learn more about how implementing morning meeting can transform a classroom into a safe and exciting place to be. Thank you for putting so much effort into getting a presenter into the classroom to teach us more about how to implement morning meetings. I learned a lot and had fun.
