I know most of us are enjoying our summer break so back-to-school resources sounds scary, BUT what are your favorite activities to do with students on the first week back that help you build relationships and set routines?

How can you foster a positive classroom environment?

Get to know each of your students

-Greet them at the door each morning

-Use their interests when communicating with them

-Honor their talents

Encourage your students to interact in positive ways with one another

Praise your students in public. Discipline them in private.

Introduce non-violent ways to solve conflicts.

Praise your students for taking challenges even if they aren't successful

We use orange folders for studentswho are a part of our Student Study multidisciplinary team/s. We summarize interventions, response to intervention, etc in a final recommendations report/pdf. This will then go into the student’s file. What does this look like in your school?

How do you prepare for your small groups so you can make the most of your time? I use these prepared baskets of materials so that students can get right to work when they visit with me!

How do you hold your students accountable during math centers? I give my students notebooks and they have to show how they solved math word problems or math fact families.

How do you help new classroom teachers mainstream exceptional students? Many new teachers struggle to make sure they are meeting the needs of all students. Any tips would be appreciated!
