How to use these self-management conversation cards in morning meeting
Grade fit
Younger students recognize the scenes right away: puddles, sandcastles, block towers, a birthday party that gets wild. Older students find plenty to chew on in questions about screens, two things due on the same day and the habit their future self might thank them for. Teachers in Grades 6–8 can use them as conversation starters for middle school just as easily as in an elementary circle.
Digital version
The digital version turns the questions into one link: students answer on any device with no student logins and download an answer sheet to hand in.
