2. “Appreciate, Apologize, Ah-ha”:

Advisory Check in and Reflection Prompts

-“Appreciation” – Share about someone or something that you are grateful for this week

-“Apologize” – share about something that you are sorry for doing (or not doing), saying (or not saying) this week

-“Aha” – share something that you discovered, learned, realized, or were excited about this week

3. Incorporate Reading into Morning Meeting:

-“Sneaky Reading” can be defined as finding small opportunities in your day to “steal reading time.” Share this slide and ask students to talk about moments when they “sneak a read.” Then, read silently together in the Morning Meeting. (Thanks for sharing, Jennifer!)

From Teaching Tolerance: “Affirming Black Lives without Inducing Trauma”

“This week, we were disappointed to see wide circulation of the videos showing Ahmaud Arbery’s and Sean Reed’s shooting deaths. Educators have a responsibility to engage with students about this violence against Black men—and the white supremacist systems that allow it to continue. But they must do so without re-traumatizing Black students and with extra care for their mental health. These resources can help.”
