This is a wonderful way to connect with kids, and their families, while honoring their individual identities.

They trust me to be consistent in applying policies, consistent in my demeanor, and flexible when they need it. You just have to be nice to kids even when they aren't being nice to you.]]> 2019-08-29 01:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tmellsworth/h82xml9fa5r2/wish/378115051 tmurrayit https://padlet.com/tmellsworth/h82xml9fa5r2/wish/378448151 2019-08-29 19:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tmellsworth/h82xml9fa5r2/wish/378448151 jfishburnon https://padlet.com/tmellsworth/h82xml9fa5r2/wish/379270517 I like using a Roll Call Question when taking attendance. Each day pose a Q to your class, and when you call their name, they will respond with their answer rather than the standard "here!"  I always start the first few times to ease anyone being put on the spot initially.  Questions should be things that are "low risk" such as "Fave Food."  Once your students get more comfortable, you can increase the risk, if you want, or keep it low key.  My Ss have enjoyed this procedure and roll call questions have helped up get to know each other quicker. Students enjoy sharing out, too! ]]> 2019-09-03 02:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tmellsworth/h82xml9fa5r2/wish/379270517
