Morning meeting for pre-K (ages 3–5)
Use this screen as students arrive to start the day with a clear routine and a welcoming atmosphere. Pre-K students see today’s date, the time, arrival steps, and a friendly question they can answer with help.
This setup helps little ones settle in, know what to do, and feel part of the classroom community from the moment they walk in.

Questions teachers ask
How long should the morning meeting routine take?
For pre-K, 5–10 minutes is usually enough for arrival and a short discussion. Keep it brief and consistent.
Can non-readers use the checklist?
Yes, use picture cues or read steps aloud. Many children will learn to follow the routine after a few days with modeling.
How do I use the word cloud with young children?
Read the question aloud and let students answer verbally. You can type their answers, or let them tap on a device with adult help.
