HEATing up Morning Meeting
By Lauren Longarzo
The old way…
Before the promethean board we used to do our morning meeting with boring pencil and paper.
Students would circle the answers on their paper.
Subjects include: Attendance Calendar Date Weather Season
The new way…
Now, students move objects on the board while following along on their own dry erase paper.
They sing along to songs and can even bring up weather.com to find out what the weather is like!
The following slides are what our morning meeting looks like.
