In this video we see Sue facilitating a morning meeting that she does every day. Sue is exemplary in how she works to build community in her classroom, where students act as helpers to one another. They start by turning to a classmate one at a time with a positive welcome and shaking hands. A couple of students then share something going on in their lives followed by the class singing together. Continuing singing they stand and clap each other’s hands. Then a fun singing game. Think about how building mutual care and enjoyment of each other can help students who are having emotional and academic difficulties as well as high achieving students.
