THOUGHT STARTERS

What is the effect of having students write questions to ask their parents? Write in planners, come up with a question something students feel parents want know, then record in planner. Present to teacher for checking.
How does Ms. Saul communicate her feelings for her students? Thank students for their participation and hard work and end day with physical touch, fist bump, squeeze release hug, high five something.
What can you learn from Ms. Saul about creating multipurpose procedures? To create something ongoing that interacts with teacher first and parent afterwards to produce a want to be in class.

End of the day reflections all the children to think about what happened in their day emotionally and mentally. It also give the teacher time to check in with students and see how they are feeling as well as giving the parents the opportunity to ask their children the question about their reflections.

I like this end of the day approach. It allows for studnets to self reflect on their own learning. This also allows for the teacher to check in with their students and connect with them.

This video was so amazing thank you for sharing. I love how the stump the parents task is so multipurpose. It allows her to see if the studets understand the contents by them coming up with the questions, while also getting the parents involved in their childs learnging. Communicating my feelings to the kids I work with is important to me as well. I like them to know that they have someone to confide in and that they are important.

Interviewer: Our end of the day procedure is a chance for students to record in their daily planner, usually something that they learned from that day. We sometimes try to come up with a way to stump our parents, something we feel really great about learning that we think maybe our parents don’t know. So we’ll formulate a question to stump our parents with.

We record that into our planner, and they bring that for me to see. It gives me a time to check in individually with the student to thank them for their choices, and for working hard and really thinking hard all day.

At the end of the day I like to incorporate some type of physical touch, whether it’s a hand on their shoulder or a squeeze and release hug. I just want to assure them that I’ve been very aware of their presence in my room all day. When we say, “See you tomorrow,” I feel like it’s a really genuine like, “I’ll miss you.”
