Some of our teachers will give "I noticed" notes during the day - How it works: Simply place post-it notes on student’s desk when they least expect it!<br /><br />I noticed you finished your project today… nice work with great detail!<br />I noticed you are being a good friend to Johnny… you are kind!<br />I noticed you helping Sally with her math at lunch… you are a good friend!<br />I noticed you put great voice in your writing today… nice focus on our target learning!<br />I noticed you being a good listener… you rock!<br />I noticed you asking for help on your assignment… way to take charge of your learning!<br />I noticed you using "active listening" strategies with Sally during turn and talk… keep it up!<br /><br />I love this strategy because it provides encouragement and accolades to support a positive relationship between teacher-students. It also helps students to self-regulate their behaviors, assuming responsibility to academic and social learning. Students love it and so do the teachers who utilize! - See more at: http://principalhowell.blogspot.com/2014/08/school-starts-tuesday-we-look-forward.html#sthash.xwGnBDGf.dpuf<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the great things that are happening at Cantiague Elementary!
