 Throughout the school day, there are many successes. Oftentimes, the students look for our recognition as the teacher to see that I am proud of their work. Many times, what I do, though, is I ask them if they're proud of it. I want them to feel good about the product that they've done or the creation they've created. So I'll have them point to themselves and say, I'm proud of myself. Another great way to celebrate successes is if someone's struggling with something or you see that they've worked really hard on something in class to stop the whole class and have a class celebration. Let's put our hands up for our friend who did this and really have that school classroom family celebration of a success. That starts to build the confidence in the students that my friends are proud of me, my teachers proud of me, and most important, I'm proud of myself.
