The power of HELLO.
Food for thought:
Every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence. Speak to everyone you meet. Speaking to those you meet creates a pathway into their world. It lets them come into your world too. The words “Hello,” opens doors to conversations. It calms nerves. It creates a feeling of being part of a group. As we begin our day today, don’t forget to make an impact on a child, or an adult, that can set the tone for the day. It starts with a simple ”hello, good morning.”
It’s nice to feel noticed and acknowledged. A nod, a smile, and a warm “good morning” will uplift you in a way you would never imagine. Even if it’s not reciprocated, knowing you’re radiating positivity and friendliness will fill you with joy for the rest of your day.
Plan engaging lessons and activities for your students to keep them focused on and excited about learning. Collaborate with other teachers and share resources and ideas. Behavior issues are less likely to occur when students are engaged in learning.
Note: Don't forget to give Caught Being Good passes and Positive Office Referrals to students who are displaying one or more of the three R's: Respect, Responsible, and/or Ready!
