I also like to write a positive comment/praise in Friday folders at least once a month.]]> 2018-02-02 15:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/caroline_williams2/dawxb66wfw62/wish/227529138 https://padlet.com/caroline_williams2/dawxb66wfw62/wish/230446929 I praise my Ss to recognize their effort and how much it means to me.  With my math Ss I have them practice multiplication facts by creating math charts at home.  When they bring them back they get small prizes for each one they make.  They receive ribbons and prizes for passing checkpoints and tests to show how proud of them I am.  They recieve Dojo points for good behavior.  As a homeroom teacher I always enforced the things they can could buy with their points and would post the menu so they could see the different things they could buy.  

As a homeroom teacher I would communicate with parents every week through Remind and a monthly newsletter. This would make them feel more involved with what was going on at school. This year it is a little tougher for me to communicate with parents but would like to send home more positive notes. This is on my to do list!]]> 2018-02-12 01:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/caroline_williams2/dawxb66wfw62/wish/230446929 carol_counce https://padlet.com/caroline_williams2/dawxb66wfw62/wish/232528836 I praise my student when they even make small improvements. little steps are just as important. I would like to be able to make more good phone calls home. Seems like there just isn't enough time.]]> 2018-02-16 22:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/caroline_williams2/dawxb66wfw62/wish/232528836 https://padlet.com/caroline_williams2/dawxb66wfw62/wish/235700360 Honestly I don't think I do enough to show that I think my students and their parents are important. I've always struggled at maintaining parent relationships but want to get better at that. I want to create a monthly log and talk to parents briefly to thank them for trusting me with their students. Secondly I want to sit down and talk with my "difficult" kids. I know that their issues stem from issues that I've never experienced, but I let it get to me and I give up on them. I want to take the time and get to know them more in class and outside of class]]> 2018-02-27 01:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/caroline_williams2/dawxb66wfw62/wish/235700360 james_kellgren https://padlet.com/caroline_williams2/dawxb66wfw62/wish/235919168 Communication home for the successes in the classroom is an easy and free way to recognize students.  It makes the parents happy to get positive word from school vs only the negative.

I post their birthdays on the calendar in my classroom and I also make sure the we (class included) tell them Happy Birthday. I understand that their birthdays are announced at Jowell but they look on my calendar to make sure their birth date is marked.]]> 2018-02-27 15:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/caroline_williams2/dawxb66wfw62/wish/235923057
