It’s the time of year (right before spring break… agh!) when students tend to disconnect a little. Instead of feeling frustrated about all the problems around you, look for the good! Celebrate the successes and let a student know you’re proud of them. It might change your day as much as theirs.
Share your story! How did a compliment change a student in your class today?
Not so much a compliment as a recognition…I was grading and awarding badges early this morning, and one student came in so excited about her badge for reading at the novice mid level she said she thought she was dreaming! 🙂
Aww! You made her day!
