I know we are not supposed to talk about religion, but I find knowing a student’s religion and whether they go to temple, church, mass, mosque is a huge thing for them. #bfc530

I do that as well. Some of my Littles are really unresponsive when I greet them with a handshake or high five, any pointers? #bfc530

Its like my first year teaching. I need to recreate the wheel to a certain extent. #bfc530

Implementing a morning meeting and reading aloud books that promote the development of social emotional skills are two great ways to get to know your students and for them to get to know you. Both promote authentic conversations where everyone can be real. #bfc530 https://t.co/aHr7Dd8Qiu

I make sure that they know me. The more I share about my own life (hopes, dreams, fears, likes/dislikes) the easier it is for us to find common ground and connect #BFC530 https://t.co/GMJXV4OYHY

We are doing empathy interviews this year. 10-20 min with a student can really reframe how you see that child. #bfc530

I make sure I have daily conversations with at least 2 students in each class #bfc530 Not academic but about life: what they are reading etc

One of the most powerful and simple ways of getting to know my students is to spend time with them, truly LISTENING to their stories...they know when you care and then they’re more willing to share! #bfc530 #tlap #JoyfulLeaders #KindnessMatters https://t.co/PlRDC4zA85

Before any formal lessons, reading the syllabus, classroom rules, etc. spend time doing team building and getting to know each student and what they care about. Investing this time early to develop relationships and trust always pays off big time in the long run. #bfc530 https://t.co/ak4ceW0C11

Right now im just trying to keep my head above water. What i need is to rethink how i manage my time. My old systems are proving to be inadequate. #bfc530

I'm just finishing up my EDL certification - am nervous about just that same thing. I think many of us are a bit harder on ourselves than is called for. Trust in yourself, make sure you have a good mentor & ask lots of questions! #YouveGotThis!#bfc530

At my old school, a parent confronted me w/how many minutes I "wasted" talking to kids about things like basketball & ice skating. I defended myself by saying my getting to know them is reciprocated by them listening to me about history #bfc530

Spending time talking with the students that are walking the halls as the same time as me is always a good opportunity. They always have something to share. #bfc530

Since I'm admin, I try to greet Ss in the hallway & conference with them when I'm observing classes. Plus, I love to talk about books with them! #bfc530

In my new role, ive been introducing myself to students whenever I get the opportunity. Very informal. Just finding connections wherever i can. #bfc530

I asked one of my students how her kitten was doing and ended up getting a thank you message from her mom about how much she appreciated me going out of my way to talk to her. Made my day to know it meant so much!! #bfc530
