I believe that a very important strategy of being a good teacher is to have a relationship with each students. As a future teacher, I aim to make time to talk to each of my students individually every day. But during my weekly practicum visits, I am finding it hard to make the time to have a meaningful conversation with each student when there is so much going on. Do some teachers go to the lengths to make check off lists of which students they have talked to in a day? Do some teachers call children up individually to have a conversation with them? Maybe some teachers spend the first 5-10 minutes of the day catching up with the class as a whole. This would be nicer in a intimate setting such as circle time. I wonder what strategies other teachers have to go about this making time for each child. When you have a class of wonderful children you really DO want to talk to all of them, not just to help you as a instructor, but because all of the children are so great.
