Strategies for success

 Every teacher's keys clank against their ID badge like we're a tiger that has been belled.  Yesterday, during my prep, I was clanging down the hall and a 4th grader (she wasn't mine last year, but I know her) was hiding around a corner, obviously dodging going to class.

I said hello to her, calling her by name.

She said, "Mrs. Davis!  Hi!  I love your shirt!  It looks so good on you!  It makes you look so pretty!"

I 100% knew that she was using flattery to keep from getting into trouble and it 100% worked out.  I said thank you and she went back to class.

These kids are pretty smart!
