“You have the coolest handwriting—I love it!” (He told me he’s not good at anything, which is so not true! I make sure to tell him what he’s good at.)
He doesn’t focus or comment on the prints—incoming images kind of make him … uncomfortable? But when I asked him, “How many Bear names can I ask you to write?”he said, “Probably a lot. As many as you want!”
Love the word break, BeA R.
Oh--another example of student success.
Remember I'd written about the student who likes hugs but whose hugs have become too . . . groiny, as puberty hits? And while some teachers won't hug him at all (understandably), I'd instituted "count to three" hugs, finishing with a high 5 and a fist bump.
(He'd called me Grandma once, so I am in a good position to keep hugging him anyway.)
Well, our 3-second hugs have evolved--we now have a little choreography.
We dance a "one-two-three" twist, do a 1-2-3- hug, high five, fist bump, and end with sparkle fingers.
