After my school experienced an unexpected tragedy, I made it my goal to spend more time talking to my students about things outside of the busy curriculum. Everyday I would stop and say, “it’s time to talk” and they would know. It’s time for a real life conversation.
Most days the conversation is real quick, like, how was your day?
Other times, the conversation would last the entire class period.
One of my favorite books I always use in moments like these is I Wish you More by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.
After reading the book, the students created their own images and what they wished more for their classmates. Here are some of their images:
