I notice even in our cohort that we work together better when we know each other at a personal level. We are not afraid to share our ideas and feelings with our friends. We got to be comfortable with each other last semester and had a family environment but now we have new people and we tend to stay with the people we are comfortable with. I think that by having morning meetings we will be able to get to know each other better and be like a big family.
The only thing that worries me about morning meetings is convincing administration and others who haven't been introduced to them that it really works. It's not just a waste of time because you can do academic things in the activities and it is a great way to start the day. Who doesn't want a greeting, a time to share, a quick activity, and a review of the day?! That sounds pretty sweet to me!

Most administrators will "buy in" if they see you facilitating MM with confidence, and making your connections to the core curriculum. I'll be interested in what you think after you've observed a couple of real ones. They're very "personal" according to the teacher, and will probably REALLY sell you on them, or steer you away from them! Good luck!
