If COVID has taught us anything, it's that we all need connection. We want to feel safe, loved, and that we're a part of a community. The same goes for our students. Holding a morning meeting every day is the perfect way to accomplish these things for our students and start the day off in a peaceful and positive way. Whether you are already implementing morning meetings, or have yet to start, I'm sharing why morning meetings are so special and my top tips for running them daily!
