Date : November 13th, 2023

Social Objective(s): What will students know or be able to do socially as a result of this meeting?
Students will be able to listen to their peers, follow directions, and practice self-expression.

Academic Objective(s): What will students know or be able to do academically as a result of this
meeting?
Students will be able to practice memorization of multiple step directions, concentration, critical
thinking skills and creativity.

Assessment: How will you know the students have met your objectives? What will you see students
do/what will you hear students say that will demonstrate their learning of your content?
We will know if students have met our objectives by observing their participation and engagement
and if they can follow the directions of each part of the morning meeting correctly.

do? The gestures do not have to include sound, but they may.

After each student shares their name and gestures, the WHOLE group
responds with “Good morning (insert student name)!” and will also
repeat the syllable gestures back to the student.
The greeting will move in a clockwise direction around the circle, the next
student to go will START with the gesture that the last student ENDED
with.

*Students are standing in a circle in the room, with teachers in the circle
as well*
*Teachers will display a slide with directions and read aloud to class.*
*One teacher will start the greeting as an example and go around the
circle to all the students (both teachers are participating).*
Share AFTER MORNING MESSAGE
*Explain the rule for the picnic game and an example of what another
*What will you say & do? rule would have been*
*What will students say & *Go around the circle and have each student share a rule they would
do? choose and an example item they could bring with them*
*Allow all students to share and thank them for their participation*
Group Activity Going on a Picnic:
Students will still be in the circle and will be asked to stand up in front of
*What will you say & do? their chairs, the teachers will share that we are going on a picnic and each

do? *There is a rule that will not be shared with students for what they can
bring and the class will try to figure that out.*
“For anyone who has not played this game, there is a rule for what we
allow on our picnic, but we will not tell you that rule.”
*Students will take turns asking if they can bring their item on the picnic,
if they ask to bring an item that applies to the rule, they can sit down and
the other students will keep trying.*
We will stop and share the rule once everyone is coming on the picnic,
unless we run out of time, then we will share the rule.
Morning Message “Good morning educators!
