The Morning Meeting Book (Strategies for Teachers, 1) (Paperback) Review

This book addresses the place and importance of Greeting, Sharing, Group Activity, and News and Announcements for grades k through 8.It gives both theoretical and practical reasoning as well as many examples.There is anappendix for each component that lists many activities, categorized byappropriate grade level.Kriete does a nice job of pointing out the skillstaught in all the components of morning meetings, and step-by-step helpsany teacher set the same tone in his/her classroom.For example, in GroupActivity, skills such as attentive listening, voice-control, and team-workare re-inforced by specific activities where each is a critical element. There aren't enough books out there on these types of skills!ThanksRoxann Kriete!
