Tips and Ideas for Using the Slides

Morning meeting looks a little different in every classroom, so here are some ways you can make the most of these slides.

1. Keep a Consistent Routine

Use the same flow each morning – greeting, calendar, math/literacy review, and a fun activity from the slides. The repetition helps students feel ready to learn.

2. Make It Interactive

Call on students to lead the pledge, move pieces on the slides, or explain their thinking. This builds confidence and encourages participation.

3. Differentiate as Needed

Use observations from your morning meetings to adjust small group instruction later in the day. For example, if your class is struggling with digraphs, pull a small group for extra practice.

4. Encourage Math Talk and Literacy Talk

Take advantage of the skill review slides. Ask students to explain how they solved a math problem or why a word belongs in a certain sound sort. These discussions build deeper thinking and strengthen communication skills.

5. Add Partner or Small Group Work

Not every slide has to be for the whole group. Let students pair up to solve a math problem or discuss their answer to a “Would You Rather” question. This keeps everyone engaged.

6. Keep Slides Flexible

Some days you’ll have more time than others. Pick and choose slides to fit your schedule – use all of them on slower mornings or skip to the essentials when time is short.

7. Use Slides Beyond Morning Meeting

Don’t feel limited to just mornings! These slides can also be used after recess to refocus or as quick brain breaks.
