Jentry Youd and His Class Family

TALK      LAUGH      MOVE

Jentry Youd is a UVU graduate who uses Morning Meetings!!! He says that it makes his class! I love hearing about different ways to do morning meetings!! His love and passion for morning meetings really is contagious and exciting! I loved how his style was a new way to do morning meetings. It just shows that we can adapt morning meetings to work for us in our own classes!

Jentry does Morning Meetings every morning in his class. He does an ACTIVITY, a SHARE, and they cover a GOAL. These goals vary on what the class may need to work on and they can last for quite some time until they nail it. He has created a Google doc filled with 50 Morning Meeting Activities!!! He shared it with us and I am thrilled to use it!!!

Jentry believes something that we learned my first semester from Professor Adamson. He firmly agrees that EVERY DAY students need to
Talk
Laugh
and Move
I 100% agree with this statement. I know those are three things I need to do every day. Since that is true, then it has to be especially true for growing and developing and learning children.

I loved the stories he shared about how his students love morning meeting, about how he's helped kids with anxiety, or that are going through a hard time such as death of a loved one. I also loved the story about taking Morning Meeting away one day and that solved his classes behavior problem!!

He was so fun and happy. His students reflected that and I hope to have a similar relationship with my students. :)
