Building Rapport by https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45 What strategies do you use in your classroom to build rapport with your students? en-us 2016-09-22 19:56:01 UTC 2016-09-23 13:11:05 UTC hello@padlet.com I like having mini meetings and discuss issues we are having as a class and how we can do better, team building classes, I like greeting them at the door and giving high fives or hugs. I also like to write little notes for them to send home and give to their parents how their day went.  - Alisha https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994152 2016-09-23 13:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994152 Susan https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994153 I do authentic listening with my students. If they know they've been heard they will feel valued and more able to learn.]]> 2016-09-23 13:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994153 Asking students what they enjoy reading - mini book talks, asking students their reading interests https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994168 Melanie]]> 2016-09-23 13:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994168 Rachel  https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994169 I make crafts with the students and listen to them with their stories and ask them questions about what they like to do. ]]> 2016-09-23 13:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994169 I start each group with a getting to know you activity and we share out of what they like in that subject and what is difficult for them in that subject. https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994202 2016-09-23 13:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994202 Kristi https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994261 Small conversations about what interests them. I had parents fill out a sheet at the beginning of the year that told me lots of personal kinds of things about the students. I use this to help me have a big picture about each child, as well as details about them. SMILES and hugs or pats on the back.]]> 2016-09-23 13:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994261 Katie https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994265 On the first day of school, I too, use play-doh.  It's a great way to "break the ice."  I always try to greet students at the door and always call them by name.  I try to notice something "special" about as many students as possible.  I joke around with kids and get them to laugh.  I also try to get to know their interests and learn about their home lives.  Build connections where ever I can!]]> 2016-09-23 13:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994265 Ask them about their day https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994274 2016-09-23 13:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994274 I enjoy finding 1-2 chunks of time per week that I just chat with a kiddo. I try to make sure I hit all students every other week. I also don't hesitate to give out hugs. https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994299 2016-09-23 13:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994299 I try to build rapport with individual interactions with the students. It can be a high-five, asking them about the ball game they played, trying to make them laugh.  https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994399 2016-09-23 13:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994399 Becca https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994407 I make an effort to talk to each student when they walk in the room. I like to know how their night was. If the students wants to talk to me about their night or day I try to drop what I am doing at the moment and let them share. I also give the students a chance to share as a whole group setting as well and make sure that all of their peers are listening to them. ]]> 2016-09-23 13:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994407 https://padlet.com/pattemel/ef31x6m4tv45/wish/125994421 I give them the time to share something with me about themselves.
