Week 3: Sylvia Allen

When I was told Mrs. Allan was coming I was excited, but I had no idea all of the beneficial material she would be sharing with us. I found myself being drawn into her presentation with ease and thought that the things she shared were very real life and applicable and possible to do in our classrooms. As she shared various stories about her students and the positive community this created it became clear to me that not only are morning meetings positive tools in our classroom to teach academics but it also provides and creates an emotional community that can't be created through typical teaching. My goal as a teacher is to create an environment where true learning (not only academic) can be fostered and experienced by all.
