You sound just like me! Having these conversations builds ownership and greatly reduces behaviors that interrupt teaching and learning. Thanks for your contribution.
Love it! With my kinders, I teach them a response to my two questions- T: why to come to school? S: to learn, T: how do we learn S: by thinking and practicing. We will do this often as a reminder of our purpose. In the beginning, I explain what and how to “think”- using our brain, listening to our internal voice, answering questions in our brain, even when not called on, body language, etc...Then I talk about practicing and relate it to learning to ride a bike, or sports, or even a video game- how we aren’t very good the first time but get better and better the more we do it.⭐️
Singing usually grabs children attention and peaks their interest. When these are done with appropriate body language and expression they really help to keep your students in check. Thank you.

This is a nice song to get the little ones body and mind ready to learn. I will try it out in my class.

I agree! Singing is really powerful in the classroom.
