Morning meeting went well. I made up a greeting today where they just shake hands and tell each other how many loose teeth they have. I did that because I have another greeting that I like that I want to save for tomorrow morning. For our activity, I had them decorate CDs that I will make into tops for the class. Now I just need to hot glue marbles and handles to them all. Because they had been sitting a while for morning meeting, I had them get up and jump around a few times before sitting back down to focus on coloring. They enjoyed using permanent markers on the CDs. We gave them each a color and they used that for about a minute, then they passed it to the left and used another color for another minute, then they did one more pass, so everyone got 3 colors.
I didn’t get to reflect much on my afternoon because it went by so quickly. I taught my math lesson and did my read aloud. I spent a lot of time at night looking up quick energizers and activities that I can do for when the class starts to get antsy. I hope to use a lot of these ideas soon.
