I have been doing class meetings daily for 2 years. I used calendar time as part of our meeting. I wanted to change that. Thank you for the “outline” and ideas.

I don’t have a picture example, sorry. Imagine a number line from 0-10 with a smiley face under each. Zero would be a sad face and ten would be a happy face. Hope that helps!

Yes we often stop and move around. I try hard to get them into 30 minutes for first graders (or Kinders). If your students are older, I would definitely stop and take breaks as needed.

So interested in trying it out! I was wondering if you had a template or example of the temperature scale on the number line with the examples that you might be able to share with me? TIA

Do you do a brain break in the middle at any point? My kids (grade 3) are squirmy at 25-30 minutes, even first thing in the morning, but I would like to include more things in meetings.

I wish this too, Lindy! It was and is something very near and dear to my heart and while it isn’t explicitly worded in our curriculum, I make time for it. Teachers can get creative if they put their minds to it and implement pieces of this throughout the day. Reading stories with powerful messages, helping children problem solve during group p.e. times, discussing scenarios during morning carpet time…these are a few ways. I really appreciate your kind words.
