“Every child deserves a champion. Someone who believes in them and never gives up on them”.
Little reminder that I needed tonight after a pretty stressful week so far. I’m ready to be that champion for my kids, no matter what is thrown at me this year.
This guy was SO proud of his creative writing project I just had to share! Ss built different STEAM creations and wrote about them to bring them to “life”! Such a fun project.
This guy made his growth goal in writing today and all he wanted as a celebration was a selfie with me. Kids know how to make a teacher’s heart grow when we need it, don’t they? 🤍
Quick de-escalation phrases for kids:
You’re not in trouble.
I want to hear your side.
I’m not mad at you.
What happened?
How can I help you right now?
Let’s talk about this.
Nature walks always turn into some of the very best learning opportunities! We loved collecting (fallen) leaves, seeds and plants to make observations on in the classroom. 🍂
Better late than never! We’re soaking up this lovely fall weather and last little while we’ll be able to do writing outside before it gets too chilly. I love days like these, where kids are genuinely excited about taking learning into their own hands.
Teaching is the best.🖤
