Edutopia - Most powerful words you can say to a student.
Following Edutopia's post on the most powerful words you can say to a student, I decided to ask my 5th graders "what is the best thing a teacher can say to you?".
Here are their answers...
You did a great job on your test and you are a good student.
Wow, you got an A. Very very good job! That is great. Very neat!
