Weekly Staff Letter
October 1st - October 5th
STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS: Build Goodwill on Good Days!
Sometimes teachers forget to interact with students when things are going smoothly. When things are going well and students are quietly reading, doing their work, or listening attentively, we sometimes silently accept this situation and enjoy the respite from having to correct misbehavior. Yet this is the time to build a little goodwill by commenting on how much you appreciate your students' positive CRISP Habits. Sometimes it feels cheesy, but it works! Here's a great opportunity to use statements like these:
“It’s great to see all of you starting your bell work without being told.”
“I appreciate that you are all working so quietly.”
“Great day today, thank you for your focus and hard work. It’s going to pay off.”
“It sure is easy to carry on an adult discussion when people raise their hand and don’t interrupt others. I appreciate that."
