Sharing
Sharing is an important part of our daily classroom morning meeting. Through our sharing time, students develop a deeper sense of community as we learn more about the people, events, special talents, and objects that are important to members of our class. It is also a wonderful way for students to practice speaking and listening skills in a meaningful way.
I encourage students to think carefully about what they bring and to be prepared to talk for about 3 to 5 minutes about their share. They will also have time to answer a few questions from their classmates. It is often helpful for students to practice their “share” at home with family members so they feel ready to speak about it in front of the group.
Some ideas for sharing are:
- Describe special moment or event
- Tell about an important person or pet
- Share about playing a sport or instrument or about another special talent
- Share or describe something found in nature (ex: finding a nest)
- Tell about a favorite book
- Share about a special toy or stuffed animal
