Family Meetings

Each class has at least one "Family Meeting" during the week. Most of the time, we start our week with a quick Family Meeting on Monday mornings. Prior to our Monday morning meeting, the learners have a quick reflection tool that they use to reflect on their weekend and set some goals for the following week. 

One side of the form has a graphic organizer for the learners to think about and share about their weekends. The kids might refer to these as "Ups, Downs, and In Betweens." 




We make a few changes to these each week based on the life principle and other things that may be going on, but the basic structure is the same. 





During these family meetings, we discuss the life principle of the week as well as various other character lessons and scenarios. Feel free to chat with your son/daughter about what he/she is taking away from these family meetings.
