--- WHAT IS INCLUDED? ---

The calendar and morning meeting activities are compatible with Google Slides™ and PowerPoint™.

I include written/picture directions, as well as video instructions to make learning how to use your new digital calendar seamless and easy.

The math and literacy activities change each month and progressively get more difficult throughout the school year.

BIRTHDAYS

Write student names and their birthdays for the month on this one slide. This makes it so easy to keep track of all the birthdays each month.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY?

This slide has an adorable song to sing each day, and students can then share how they are feeling. This is a great check in each day and helps students put an emotion word to how they are feeling. You can write the number of students in each number box, and practice putting their names and emotions into the editable sentences (optional). For example: Emma is feeling excited today!

MORNING MEETING

20 prompts are included for each month (one for each school day in a month.)

I use real life pictures and questions each day.

The five themes are:

1. In your opinion...
2. True or false
3. Tell me a story
4. What would you do?
5. Thoughtful friend

Each day, show students one slide and have them think, pair share.

This will lead to great morning meeting discussions.

Editable slides are also included if you wish to add your own prompts and photos.

JOKES

Start your mornings with a silly joke! 20 jokes are included each month. Students absolutely love this!
