How to Use Morning Messages in Sophie’s Classroom

In early childhood centers, the morning message serves as a greeting for the adults in the center. Use this space to relay uplifting thoughts, encouraging insights and Conscious Discipline “aha” moments with those entering the school to pick up and drop off their children.

Choose a highly visible location to post a dry erase board that will serve as your Morning Message center. Write a daily quote or thought that is relevant to your unique school, students and families. Many of the quotes in the 365 Days of Conscious Discipline Perpetual Flip Calendar are perfectly suited for this purpose. Other sources for quotes might include the NAEYC newsletter, online forums, spiritual texts, etc., depending on your unique community.
