Students are allowed to have access to classroom materials as needed. They know where markers are, pencils, bandaids, etc…so they don’t always have to ask permission for basic needs. It’s our room.

Also, their work and even artwork goes up on walls because it’s their room, too!

I really try to sit with each kid whenever it works throughout the day. It could be while they are working on something independently, specials class, etc. That small interaction can mean the world to them and also provide more insight on your student. I also enjoy sitting whenever I can :D

Connecting to the 8 keys. For example, either before or after a lesson have a discussion about what key can be/was used. Or a key we did well & a key we could focus more on next time.
