My classroom always has morning assemble every day before
the class starts. The activity on the morning assembly varies. There are some
games that enable students to move their body. Also, there are some activities
to make student talk to each other and get to know more about peers. There are
a lot of benefits of morning assembly. First of all, it gives students an
opportunity to understand each other and be close to various friends in the
classroom. Though the activity, students share about themselves such
as their plans for weekends, dream in the future, or their favorite food.
Not only it promotes the relationship between students, but also teachers could
monitor on students so that they know whether there are students who are
bullied. These benefits will help to make caring environment in the classroom.
Also morning assembly can make students awake and be ready for classes by
making them move and have fun. I witnessed a lot of students who became more
active after the morning assembly. This short schedule of morning
assembly can be seemed like unnecessary and time consuming time but the
effects we expect from the students are huge.
I totally agree with you. In the classroom I'm in we don't have a morning assembles but they do have a morning activities on the smartboard with a morning message at the end and I feel it's a great way to get the students learning
ReplyDeleteMy class also has similar but not exact morning assembly. The students share tidbits about their weekends, greet each other in new and fun ways, and also do a morning message every day. It is a great way for the students to wake up a little bit and get them ready to learn.
ReplyDeleteIn my classroom we do the same thing. Students share, greet each other, play a short activity, and end with a morning message. I think its great way for the students to be comfortable with their classmates, and also their teacher.
