One of our favorite morning "greeting" activities is: "Hello, handshake or a hug". When introduced to this activity, children were simply encouraged to say "Hello" to each other. Each child an opportunity to walk around the inside of our circle and offer a hello and a handshake to everyone at morning meeting. Some children opted out of giving handshakes, and chose to wave their hello; while others wanted to give and receive hugs as a greeting. We often enjoy listening or singing a song during our hellos, and a favorite is "I think you're wonderful" by Red Grammer. I have included links to either cut and paste, or perhaps these will become "hot links" once published. (Thank you in advance for your patience as I learn to navigate the magical worlds of technology and internet.)

I am also happy to set up a time to discuss questions or concerns in a private setting. In the next few weeks I would like to establish a Pre-School e-mail group.
