@mrraffel A3: I want to start going to more extra curricular events to support my students and show them that I care. #D54Bridges

@mrraffel A2: Our school already promotes social bonding with all the sports and clubs students are able to participate in. I'm so glad we have added the Diversity Club as well. Students can also participate in Student Ambassadors and the musical. Adding more clubs can only help.

@mrslindenborn @mrraffel Yes, I agree about how important self esteem is!

[Dawn Wren @DawnWren6]

@mrraffel A1: My experiences have helped me connect with my students and feel empathy. Through my experiences, I am able to relate to my students and listen with understanding. I will always encourage them to be the best that they can be. #D54Bridges

@mrraffel A4: Our school community has sports and some clubs to help promote bonding, but could add more depending on the students' interests. Our quarter reward days help promote social bonding as well. #D54Bridges

@mrraffel A3: Even through the hard times, we can learn and grow and become a better person. Our different experiences, both good and bad, help us relate to our students. #D54Bridges

@mrraffel A2: By sharing some personal examples of ways I have solved problems and by encouraging them to brainstorm and discuss possibilities. #D54Bridges

@lblatti8 @mrraffel I agree with having them self evaluate, good idea!

[Dawn Wren @DawnWren6]

@mrraffel A1: By having conversations with the student to acknowledge their progress and praising as they achieve small successes. #D54Bridges

@mrraffel @DrDonParker1 A4: Take time to listen to students and ask questions to show them that I care about their thoughts and perspectives. Some wonderful conversations have developed when I am able to listen to my students and learn what makes them unique. #D54Bridges

[Dawn Wren @DawnWren6]

@mrraffel A3: Continue to learn and grow as an educator so I can connect with my students and offer meaningful lessons while showing my students how much I care. #D54Bridges

@cmd408 @mrraffel Great idea!

[Dawn Wren @DawnWren6]

@mrraffel I've used music, shopping, money, sports and activities, etc. to try to help the students learn math depending on their interests.

[Dawn Wren @DawnWren6]

@KyleeCopeland17 @mrraffel What a fun idea, love it!

[Dawn Wren @DawnWren6]

@mrraffel I try to relate many of my math topics to money since the students love money:) For example, the students own construction companies all year and have to calculate estimates to earn "money". We also play the Stock Market Game which requires many different math skills.
