@AimeeTRES A3. Yes, I feel I’ve accomplished my goal. I’ve really enjoyed this book! Manny Scott’s story is so inspirational and he offers some great ideas in how to build better connections. I’m also feeling pretty good about learning to navigate Twitter;) #TRESbesthope

@AimeeTRES @ManuelScott A1. I’ve learned a lot about different customs, cultures, and family values from my students. Thinking about the similarities or differences we share and being mindful of these similarities/differences helps me in trying to connect to their world. #TRESbesthope

@AimeeTRES A2. Try to point out the positive things they’re doing and make specific comments related to their strengths. @TRESbesthope

@AimeeTRES A1. Students can see that you believe in them if you trust them, respect them, and show support for them on their best and worst days. @TRESbesthope

@AimeeTRES A3. Doing a quick write in a journal a few times a week. You could show the students a picture, give them a word, sentence starter, or just tell them to write about anything they want. @TRESbesthope

@AimeeTRES A1. We are introducing autobiographies this week in first grade by having students write about themselves and create self portraits. Through My Eyes by Ruby Bridges is one the students really liked in Social Studies. @TRESbesthope

@AimeeTRES @ManuelScott A1. It would be nice to have local business owners, artists, musicians, athletes and people from a variety of professions in the Athens area to share not only what they do but also the story of who or what inspired them to do their particular profession. @TRESbesthope

@LauraDavisla @AimeeTRES So true. Mentors are great way to provide a new reference! #TRESbesthope

[Alye C @CasparyaC]

@jennylgrogan @AimeeTRES @ManuelScott I liked that they included people from the community too! Such a great example for the kids to see people that they know! #TRESbesthope

@AimeeTRES @AimeeTRES A3. Giving students the opportunity to feel successful or meet a goal even if it’s something small at first. Believing in them and encouraging them. #TRESbesthope

[Alye C @CasparyaC]

@AimeeTRES @AimeeTRES A2. Students who grow up in families with domestic violence, drug/alcohol abuse, or w/parents with mental health issues might not have many positive references to form their beliefs. We need to show them positive role models and positive experiences. #TRESbesthope

[Alye C @CasparyaC]

@AimeeTRES @ManuelScott @AimeeTRES A1. I think having special guest speakers is a great way to expose students. The black history program and our field trips to UGA also expose our students to successful people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. #TRESbesthope

@ebonee1908 @AimeeTRES Letting them have a voice and having a time for them to practice using it is so important. Share time is a great opportunity to do that! @TRESbesthope

[Alye C @CasparyaC]

@Mecca2Much @AimeeTRES Great strategies and so important for our littlest learners! @TRESbesthope

[Alye C @CasparyaC]

@marissalynn90 @AimeeTRES Well said. No matter what shape the bridge is in it’s our job to strengthen it. @TRESbesthope

[Alye C @CasparyaC]

@AimeeTRES @ManuelScott A3. To me the bridge is overcoming obstacles or barriers in order to get to your students. Finding a way to connect your world to theirs so you can teach them. @TRESbesthope

[Alye C @CasparyaC]

@AimeeTRES A2. Choosing content that is relevant to your students developmental levels, cultures, and current interests. @TRESbesthope

[Alye C @CasparyaC]

@AimeeTRES A1. I think especially for the younger kids it’s about teaching the social-emotional skills. It’s important that they learn a good foundation of how to get along with a group of people, how to share, listen, and work with others in a positive way. @TRESbesthope
