Today in class I told one of my students how much I admired her creativity.
Her response: "You just made my day! I'm really gonna remember that" with the biggest smile on her face.

Our words matter. Make them count. #KidsDeserveIt

Yes. Yes. Yes. Each student is someone’s entire world. Let’s be sure we teach, love, hug, converse, direct, and act accordingly.

@janelance2nd Thank you for preparing us for our careers! I’m teaching third grade in my home town and I love it so much! ❤️

[Kristen Reed @KReedECE]

On day 2 of school, I had my third graders come up with our rules, consequences, and rewards. Give your Ss a voice, and they will shine!

My first week of school was amazing! I’m so blessed to have a job that I love.

Some highlights from the week include some notes my littles left me in my mailbox. Here are just a few.

“Mrs. Reed you have mail! You need to check your mailbox!” ❤️❤️❤️

[Kristen Reed @KReedECE]

Third grade here I come! I’m so excited for this next chapter in my career and life. I can’t wait to meet my kiddos in less than 2 weeks. #FirstYearTeacher

Teach with #equity not #equality

[Todd Whitaker @ToddWhitaker]

Treating unequals equally is inherently unfair. #CultureEd

After my Ss found out that my anniversary was this week, a S did this.

“Mrs. Reed, I got you these pretty flowers & a card to make your anniversary extra special!”

This boy is 7 yrs old. He has the biggest heart of anyone I know.🌹 His kindness shines through. #MyWhy

[Kristen Reed @KReedECE]

Every morning I greet my students with an ESPN greeting.

E - eye contact
S - smile
P - personal touch (Ss initiate it; hug, handshake, high five, fist bump)
N - name

It starts each day on a positive note and every student is acknowledged and appreciated. #KidsDeserveIt

@MrsKimbleTES @daniellelhare @Tabschools Love this! What a great visual!

[Kristen Reed @KReedECE]

Couldn’t have said it any better. Not a day goes by where my students don’t absolutely amaze me.

[Kristen Reed @KReedECE]

Invest in building relationships with your students. There’s nothing more important! #KidsDeserveIt

[Kristen Reed @KReedECE]

What a great idea!

[Kristen Reed @KReedECE]

First day of student teaching = ✔️

I sure do love what I do. This semester is going to be the best one yet.

[Kristen Reed @KReedECE]

@janelance2nd Thanks for a wonderful semester @janelance2nd 🍎

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

There’s nothing to lose by giving a #student a second chance.

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

There’s only the possibility of strengthening a #relationship, demonstrating the power of #empathy, and instilling a glimmer of hopeful recovery.

[Tiffany Ott @TechieTeachOtt]

Behavior is information. The ways our students respond to us is information. The way our colleagues interact is information. When you see behavior as information, you are better able to understand it.
No, they probably aren't TRYING to make your life miserable.

@HazenCourtney @janelance2nd Families of all types should be celebrated, and this is a great book to share with Ss to discuss all the many ways to be a family. The author of this book has also written a couple others about families with two moms/two dads. I will be adding this book to my library!

[Kristen Reed @KReedECE]

@janelance2nd A4. The book "This Is How We Do It" by Matt Lamothe is a wonderful book! It serves as a window as you learn about the lives of 7 kids from all around the world. It talks about what they eat and wear, how they get to school, how they play, and more. #MUPreserviceTeachers
