*This product is organized into 20 weeks of afternoon meetings. Once the 20th week is used, you may start again at the beginning to finish out the 2nd part of the year. This design was planned purposely: by exposing the students to a collection of familiar prompts, the expectations remain consistent and there is not a brand new set of directions given daily. No week’s schedule is the same, and students are only exposed to repeating prompts every 2 weeks or more.*
This afternoon meeting model is designed to be quick & efficient. Each day’s outline contains an average of 10 minutes—that’s it! Snapshot, Share, Shout-out, Reflection, Highs & Lows, & Salutation components are designed to allow the teacher to set the time limit—they can go for as long or as short as you’d like!
This format is predictable for students, which makes expectations clear and consistent and lowers the amount of time spent asking and answering questions about directions each day.
Included in this pack, you will receive:
- 20 weeks of afternoon meetings (1,400 slides total—that’s 7 slides per day of school)
- Afternoon Meeting User Guide
- Editable templates for Snapshot, Share, Shout-out, Reflection, Highs & Lows, & Salutation slides!
This comes as a PDF file, PowerPoint file, and Google Slides: with the PowerPoint file and Google Slides, you can add, delete, change order of slides, or create & edit your own! The PDF file contains the exact same content but is not editable in any way.
This product will calm your afternoons and build your classroom community, engagement, and relationships!
Thanks for visiting my store! I hope you come again soon 🙂
