Saying “Good morning,” or “I’m so happy you’re here,” to your students doesn’t cancel out any negative they might be carrying with them, but it does create space for the positive to take place. Choose to set the tone for the day.
@TeachMrReed @juscohen My aunt taught 3rd grade for 32 years. Every morning she would start the day by playing music and greeting each child as they entered her classroom.
@TeachMrReed I couldn’t agree more!!!!
@TeachMrReed It’s the summer holidays. Go to the lake. Take a walk. Sleep in. Read a book. But mostly, stop tweeting about school.
@TeachMrReed I agree completely. It lets kids know that we are all starting fresh with a new day.
@TeachMrReed Your register/tone are great starters for the kids to see at the beginning of the day. Thank you for the reminder and sharing this.
