1. One of the many reasons why Mr. Bell greets his students is to build good relationship with them. In the video we can hear him asking one of his student "How are you feeling". The student replied: "Nervous" and his response was "that is OK". This kind of act shows us that Mr. Bell really cares for his students. 

2. Mr. Bell involves his students in setting expectations by aking them to fill out a chart asking "I would like the teacher to" or " Mr. Bell expects this behavior from us" . This strategy shows us that Mr. Bells is determined on building trust between him and his students. Really great example of teamwork.

1. Mr. Bell gets students and asks how they are to build trust with them and determine how he needs to adjust to to their mods and needs. 

2. Mr. Bell discusses classroom expectations with the students and asks them questions to help them decide what acceptable levels off noise are. He involves students in creating, learning, and following his class rules.

Mr. Bell greeted the children in the morning so that he could also gauge the mood that they were in so he would know how to treat them.    He could not treat them how he usually treated them but give them a little more attention to encourage them throughout the day. The Noise-o-meter seems to be a great idea because it helps the students to see the noise live and they could agree on the best level for the class to get the work done better. It also caused them to take more responsibility in controlling the noise level of the classroom.

Mr. Bell gives the kids a more personable experience and it allows him to know where the students are so he can properly engage with them. Some of them could find the courage to have a better day. I always temperature-check my students and allow them to express how they feel to make the class more engaging. It makes the students feel that they can unwind and trust that the teacher hears them. Having the children establish classroom rules, helps Mr. Bell see what the children's needs are and how he will need to set up the class environment. Setting the standard for the time they enter, making them responsible, and engaging with them. This type of guidance helps not only the student but also the teacher stay on task with classroom engagement and behaviors.

1. Since Mr. Bell said that the students take this exercise seriously, greeting them by asking how they are, seems to be an effective way to know about the students' daily feelings. This helps Mr Bell to individualize his approach.
2. It is clear that there are rules that are set by Mr Bell, such as how to get prepared to learn, and the use of the noise-o-meter. These rules are clearly explained by the teacher with interaction from students. The main contribution of the students is to write down their expectations-what they expect from the teacher as well as from themselves.
