I have many of the same mentors as you do - Peter Johnston is a must read every summer before school starts.<br />But I love the phrase "kiss your brain" - I just may borrow it!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549453373381775445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143907991696731390.post-57934225447696191162017-03-11T21:59:01.803-05:002017-03-11T21:59:01.803-05:00Love your slice.

I haven't heard the "knock your socks off" in a long time, but it did happen in the past, maybe from an older relative?

The kids really responded well to it.

I've been so influenced by Peter Johnston's CHOICE WORDS to be explicit in my noticing and naming when kids need feedback. I'd love to end the conference with that phrase that reminds them that their brain has done some work that deserves recognition- that THEY are driving the work being done. This post was so great to read today! Thanks!Paula Bourquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10856765362075033115noreply@blogger.com
