  • morning announcements are a proven way to set the tone for the day and build morale and a sense of school "community."
  • there is something very comforting about having a routine format for the morning announcements of each school day.

      Even if part of the routine, is the "routine surprise" #havefun
  • After Kostick's wake-up call, members of the school's student council take over the daily routine

      Love that students are involved in the announcements.
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • "We use student council representatives to relay these messages because we think the student body might listen more closely and buy into messages more readily when they come from their peers,"

      Wonder how this sort of student leadership could be gathered in an elementary setting?
  • a good-morning "America" sing-along

      Love the song idea! A tune that all student would know, and could bond with at school-wide events. Who could write one?
  • a special "Guest of the Day."

      A tremendous idea! Students hearing from different people in the school community about important and timely messages.
  • "He adds many special twists to the school's daily P.A. announcements. In addition to fade-ins and fade-outs, he uses music that the students appreciate, special sound effects that he makes with his mouth or with studio equipment, and background cheers for the sports report"

      FX!! :-)
  • include a positive character-education message. "After I share the message, I always ask the children to 'Pass it on!'"

      Great way to make Ethical Decision Maker more than just a monthly focus.
  • the students' bulletin

      Another neat idea... bulletins specifically for the students. HMW use this as part of the reading and writing work that students do already?
  • A small book with blank pages is always available next to the P.A. microphone. "Any staff member who would like an announcement made simply pens it in that book,"

      This is "High Touch" in my opinion.
  • "The quote relates to our character education trait of the month,"

      HMW tie our announcements to our mindsets?
  • 'Failure is the path of least persistence,'"

      Stealing this :-)
  • Students who are members of our Student School Life Committee sign up to present a weekly announcement on Monday mornings,

      Maybe this answers the question of how to get elementary students more involved in leadership.
  • he always, always makes a special point of thanking the school's cafeteria workers, the custodial staff, the parents volunteers, and secretaries,
    • Jim Tiffin Jr
      Jim Tiffin Jr on 14 Apr 16
       
      Another good idea. Thank the people that we too often take for granted.
  • "This term, I've extended the theme by asking students to let me know if they've noticed their peers 'passing on something good.' I share those 'good news' stories the next morning. It is amazing how many stories have been generated Small steps lead to big journeys!"
    • Jim Tiffin Jr

      Imagine students write these kinds of messages as part of their free writing, or as part of an end of the day through some kinds of all school reflection time! Stories from teachers and students would be accepted!
  • Larry Davis has been kind enough to share a year's worth of questions for use across the elementary grades. You'll find those questions in Education World's Morning Math feature

      Jackpot!! A link to lots of possible math questions for the announcements!!
  • A Riddle of the Week
    • Jim Tiffin Jr
      Jim Tiffin Jr on 14 Apr 16
       
      Not really riddles, but funny (and punny) things to make kids laugh, or groan. Either response is good when you are building a #havefun community!
  • "We usually do the National Anthem the first nine weeks of school," Roebuck told Education World. "Then we change songs for each of the other 9-week sessions. It's a good way for students to learn the words to a variety of patriotic songs."
  • Briarcrest also is proud of the school's Brag Board. "Each week, every teacher sends me one piece of student work to display on our big centrally located bulletin board,"
