I love starting the day with a meeting to evaluate how everyone is feeling as well as setting the tone for the day! Great point!

Hammond discusses creative morning meeting routines in Chapter 9 of Culturally Responsive Teaching & the Brain. This is a critical time in the day when students & teachers can focus on creating a positive community atmosphere & foster relationships #ElemSSmethods19 #BookSnaps

#BookSnaps of the day for #ElemSSmethods19! We all want to be included and what better way to show your kiddos you want to represent than to show them through “OUR” classroom, our home. Hammond’s Ch. 9 in Culturally Responsive Teaching illustrates ways to do just that!

Love this--self-reflection is key and being mindfully aware!

[Caitlyn @Ms_Kirby_]

Bias is human nature so it is extremely important to recognize and reflect on one's personal bias. Let's sharpen our “cultural lens” and be the best culturally responsive teachers we can be! #BookSnaps #ElemSSmethods19 Hammond Ch. 4

Shaped by all our experiences--good and bad-- but make us the awesome individuals we are today! Love this!

Chapter 4 has taught us that just like we use metacognition to understand how we learn, we also need to use it to understand why we think what we think! Our backgrounds and up bringing shape our beliefs more than we may know! #BookSnaps #ElemSSmethods19

For today’s #BookSnap in #ElemSSmethods19–we have Hammond’s “Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain” Ch. 4.

Our perspective matters and we support our students by broadening their “aperatures” as well as ours!

[Joy Penaso @joylightful]

Love that you said to actively KNOW your students. That relationship is so crucial! Way to go!

"The more you know the more the world can grow." I really like this!

Fight, flight, freeze or appease? Teachers who create warm environments can constantly create "an appeasing and pleasing" part of any students day. We care for our students and our students care for us. #BookSnaps #ElemSSmethods19
