This video made its rounds on social media recently and it was too good not to share.
How do you think each child felt as he/she was waiting for their handshake? How do you think they felt as they looked their teacher in the eye and saw the mutual respect that lay there? How did they feel as they walked into the classroom to start their time together?
Unique handshakes may not be for everyone. But we do all want our children to know that they are unique and valued, and that when they are entering our classrooms, they are entering a safe place to stumble and grow and "be."
