Good Morning Circle Lesson Plan

Students will engage in a 15-minute morning meeting to greet peers, share feelings, and spotlight the character trait of kindness, aiming to build community and respect.

A daily morning circle fosters social–emotional learning, promotes positive peer connections, and reinforces core character traits, helping first graders feel seen, supported, and ready to learn.
