Morning Mixer

Welcome students to the morning meeting. Introduce today’s activities and remind them to look at the bright colors on the screen. Emphasize community and positive tone.

Today’s Agenda

Briefly walk through each segment so students know what to expect and see the time allocation.

Welcome & Attendance

Stand at the door greeting each student by name. Invite them to choose a greeting card. Use a timer to keep on schedule.

Greeting Circle Check-In

Model one greeting first (e.g., high-five), then have each student show their card and use that greeting with the group.

Name Spinner Activity

Launch the Name Spinner Tool. Remind students to listen quietly while waiting for their turn and share a fun fact or positive message.

Feelings Chart Check-In

Point to the posted Feelings Chart. Ask each student to share one word about how they feel and place a marker next to that feeling.

Closing & Send-Off

Recap classroom norms, applaud positive interactions, and preview the next lesson. Encourage students to carry today’s positive energy forward.
