Day #24

All first grade teachers are required to eat lunch with their classes inside the cafeteria. I know this isn't common practice for all the elementary schools but it is for Naples. I have taken this opportunity to build relationships with the students. I sit by a different student each day and make conversation to get to know each of them better. It is a way for me to make them feel at ease with me. It's also provides a way for me to learn their background knowledge. The more I know about their background knowledge and experiences, the easier it is for me to build lessons they might relate to.
