I always find myself reflecting back on each month and finding things that I can do better. This month, I realized that I had not been spending enough time "talking" with my students. Yes, we talk a lot throughout each school day. But..when I say talk..I really mean connecting and chatting. Yes! Chatting with your students is important! I talk all about it in my Monday's Moment video on my Facebook page or watch it below. Our students deserve to know that we care, and talking with them about their interests, hobbies, home lives, friend drama, and favorite books are all apart of building strong relationships with our students. As teachers, it is essential that we create, build, and maintain a strong and inviting classroom culture. It is vital that our students feel safe, valued, and important in our classrooms and that connection has to start with YOU. Make eye contact with your kiddos. Say hello. Talk to them about the little things like what they ate for breakfast ...
