What I Wish My Teacher Knew
Dear Deep Creek Family,
You have probably seen this article..it has been trending on Facebook and other social media outlets for a while now. This is one of the quickest and most powerful ways to build relationships with students. We talk a lot about making connections with our most needy students, but this seems like a pretty important thing to do with ALL of our students. In a quick moment, whether you ask them to write or share in circle time, you know where a student's head is at. You know what is making them happy, proud, sad, or scared that day. You can help them set a goal to reach higher or to overcome. Using your reflective listening an calm, empathetic tone of voice, you can reassure your students that everything
will be OK today.
