Morning Meeting Questions for Elementary Grades

Creating a more positive learning environment for your students will benefit them in all aspects of their lives. Morning meetings are an excellent way to help students transition from home to school and help them get ready to learn. Help your students build relationships with each other and promote an overall sense of community in the classroom with this resource! This is a slide deck containing a full year of daily morning meeting activities, one for each day of the school year!

When ideating this resource, our teacher friends adamantly agreed that a full year’s worth of morning meeting prompts would be an excellent addition to their teacher toolkit. We took that advice to heart and created an amazing social-emotional slide deck!

We didn’t come up with 20 ideas, 50 ideas, or even 105 morning meetings sharing ideas. We put our teacher brains to work and created 180 different morning meeting greeting ideas and discussion prompts, one for each day of the school year!
