Create an "I Can Do It" Learning Environment

TRUIMPH changes everything! - I love that. That is so true. Think about times in your life when you thought you could not do something but some how and some way you were able to. Didn't make your confidence soar?
We have to help the students discover the possibilites- they can be anything they want to be.
We need to help all voices be heard through encouraging participatation (this includes the child in the back who seems to fade into the background).
We have to demonstrate the power of writing and teach the children they can accomplish something with writitng.
CELEBRATE! - cheer the students on even for small accomplishments " I can really tell that you worked hard on that!" "Wow, what a wonderful idea!". Our students need to know that we believe in them.
