One Moore Elementary School teacher is showing students the importance of communication through “shout­outs”£®

The third­grade teacher Lindsey Winders said a shout­out is a compliment (³ÆÔÞ) that students can say or write down. “Like, ‘Hey, I noticed you doing a really great job solving your maths problems yesterday. I wanted to make sure you know that I saw you do that£¬’” Winders said.

Winders said she makes sure she is giving shout­outs to her students every day. “I might write them a sticky note, or write them a quick little note in their planner. I might just say it to them on their way into the classroom or on their way out of the classroom. But most importantly, I try to do it every day£¬” Winders said.

In addition to the compliments, Winders has the students greet each other every morning during the morning meeting. She will have students give examples to the class of how to communicate in different settings (³¡¾°). A third­grade student Nayelli Moranchel said he had given at least six shout­outs this year. “It makes me happy, because they always write something back£¬” Moranchel said.

Recently, Winders took it one step further and wrote a personalised note on each of her students' desks. “In our classroom, sometimes it can be challenging for me to give a compliment or a shout­out to each and every one of them in a way that is equal and valuable at the same time. So I decide that there is no better way than leaving a note on their desks that can stay for as long as they want it to£¬” Winders said.

Winders said it is encouraging when she sees her students copy the act and give each other compliments without her guidance.
