The Best of the Curriculum Corner: The Positive Phone Call
In order to establish "communalism" within our classrooms we must take the time to establish positive relationships with our students and their families. One way to begin this journey (and, more importantly, maintain it throughout the year) is to do a daily 5-minute Affirmation. Each afternoon, take five minutes to call one parent/guardian and give them some good news about their child! After all, parents tend to receive (or expect) calls only when there is a concern, but I promise, once you hear their reactions to you will find the routine addictive (especially after a rough day)! This is especially important when working with a student who is expressing more challenging behaviors, as it is a fantastic motivator. Let your class know that you will be doing it and see what happens...the ripple effect for the student, your class, and yourself will be transformational!
