To get to the bottom of a situation*, ask them a round about question.

Don't ask: "Did you kick the door"
ASK: "Did you use you your left foot or right foot?

I was also taught to not stress the little stuff as a teacher. We have to pick and choose the battles we want to fight within a school day... you cannot win them all!

I was once taught that you should never tie a Kindergartener's shoes and you should tell them to find a friend to tie them instead.
1. It takes too much time
2. Every kid will ask you to tie theirs
3. It teaches them to ask others for help instead of always the teacher.

Also- Why do you think the shoe laces are wet????

Thank you Mrs. Nguyen!!!
