 Great ideas for team building February 1, 2010
Nicholas Harrington (Chicago)
The greetings and activities that I've used so far have been great for community and team building. I do not have the time to follow the book's format exactly, and it allows for flexibility if you, too, have time issues. I wish the activities had more details, examples, or "what to see from students." A few of the activities/greetings fell apart because I was caught off guard by the students' actions. For example, the Alphabet Story was tricky because a student would get stuck, or freeze up, when it was his/her turn. The other students would sit patiently for a minute, but the student was probably feeling so much pressure. Although I feel like I have good instincts about when to move on to the next person, a "heads up" about this from the authors would have been nice. It's a nice guide for getting Morning Meetings up and running in your class...especially if you are new to the profession and need ideas. This book was recommended to me, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to you either. Enjoy!
Great for Teachers December 28, 2009
Tall Mom (Minnesota)
Our school is slowly implementing Responsive Classroom. We started with everyone reading this book and doing Morning Meeting this year. It is going great! The book is very helpful. Our team meets once a month to discuss chapters and talk about how things are going in our classroom. I would also recommend the First Six Weeks of School. They are both definitely worth buying!
Only wish there was a middle/high school version September 26, 2009
Douglas L. Fireside (Baltimore, Md United States)
Doing Morning Meeting is an important part of setting a class culture of caring. I was in a pre-k - 8 school where this basic model was used and saw a huge impact on the way that we dealt with each other and the way that trust was built between students and staff. I recently helped start a school in Baltimore City where this is a key component as we set culture. Where teachers "get it" and use it, the results are amazing. This book gives a good outline to how to set up and run morning meeting. I only wish that there was more information for middle and high schools where these techniques are just as valuable as they are for the earlier grades. I cannot imagine running a classroom or school without morning meeting and cannot imagine doing so without this as a resource.

This book was worth every penny and then some. As a seasoned teacher whose district is undergoing many changes, the information in this book is creating a very positive year for both myself and my students,

This book was recommended to help children to learn about each other and to get along better. I hope to utilize many of the ideas during this school year.
