Interviews with Sylvia & Students

Let me tell you this... if you were able to stay to Sylvia's entire presentation in class, I highly recommend you take the opportunity to still watch the interviews with Q & A's from her as well as some students. They're brilliant to say the least.

Student Question & Answer: 

I loved when one of the girls said her personal favorite thing about Morning Meetings was she likes being able to tell about things happening in her life. Instead of keeping the things that happen at home inside, she can share them with everyone and feels comfortable doing so. I think that's great. I love that kids are able to share and self-reflect. 

Teacher Question & Answer: 

I loved when Sylvia talked about the biggest reward that comes from Morning Meetings- it's building a classroom community and the students becoming individuals. She said Morning Meetings are far reaching beyond the classroom- from hearing her speak on Monday and from this interview, I can how it does. Morning Meetings involve students in every aspect, even when it's not during Morning Meeting time. My other favorite thing she mentioned was at the end of the year how she has her students write how they've become a better person from being in this class, and how most of them will reflect on Morning Meetings. I think that's absolutely incredible.

Each time I learn something new about Morning Meetings I start to realize more and more how important they are in your classroom and the effect they have on your students. I can't wait to use Morning Meetings in my classroom and see the benefits they bring to my classroom.
