This is not something I found while subbing, but since this blog is a lot about making note of really good teaching practices, I felt I would write a little post!  As educators, we know that students will be more successful in school and in life if they put EFFORT into the things they do.  This is a high level idea- to be aware of how hard we are trying.  I feel it's important to instill in young students.  This is something that came home with my second grader the other day.  Apparently they do this often after working with a partner:

I love this.  I love that he is thinking about how he worked with his partner and has something to go on the NEXT time he works with someone.
