Dear Morningside Center friends,

Never has it been more important to check in with our students and encourage connections between them.

In this issue, we share a helpful tool and a video mini-lesson to help you do just that. Plus you'll find new lessons on current issues and good stuff to read.
New on TeachableMoment
Students consider four key issues discussed by Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the October 22, 2020 presidential debate: the Covid pandemic, healthcare, racism, and the climate crisis.
Use these charts and process to check in with students on how they're feeling and what they need throughout the school day.

These video mini-lessons focus on building, developing, and nourishing our communities. Start your class off with a game and then proceed to a step-by-step process for a student listening exchange.
Students discuss recent cases of forced sterilization, explore the history of this horrific practice, then do some research of their own.
What we're reading
"Play is the child’s first language and it is how a child learns about the world. Play is the expression of the child’s most inner thoughts and deepest emotions; the more a child plays, the deeper the feelings that are revealed." By Marcy Guddemi at Community Playthings
"Being listened to helps human beings in profound ways.” - Tresa Elguera
