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.⭐️
