I can do about 50% of the class. I think it makes a huge difference. Also, eye contact when they are checking in or out. ]]> 2018-11-28 21:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sgonsalves/connecting/wish/309058696 https://padlet.com/sgonsalves/connecting/wish/309532599 I try to attend one of their extra curricular activities during the year, like a sporting event or music recital.]]> 2018-11-29 20:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sgonsalves/connecting/wish/309532599 https://padlet.com/sgonsalves/connecting/wish/309791493 I like to greet each student in the morning with our class handshake, their name, a smile and a question. I also do one-on-one conferences with each student at least once a week!

If they're having a rough day it also gives me something to ask them about, a connection, something they feel confident in talking about that may also be a distraction to whatever is causing their bad day. ]]> 2018-11-30 16:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sgonsalves/connecting/wish/309861631 https://padlet.com/sgonsalves/connecting/wish/310526532 Attending outside of school events.

I also try to talk one-on-one with students about something that I've noticed, or heard, that they are struggling with (academically or socially) and really try to understand why they feel that way. Then together we can figure out what can be done to help fix/change the situation. (Easier said than done with first graders, sometimes.)]]> 2018-12-04 03:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sgonsalves/connecting/wish/310731671
