Every week, each class, our teachers ask our students a question of the day! Sometimes they are silly, and sometimes more thoughtful 💜
✨ Here are the benefits of taking two minutes at the start of class to ask a QOTD:
💞 Each student starts the class by connecting with the teacher in conversation, whether it is a one-word answer or a bit of explanation
💞It acts as an icebreaker, especially at the start of the season, but also helps each student connect with each other before dancing together. A simple QOTD has been shown to strengthen the comfort levels in our studio
💞Teachers learn more about the students every class, continuously building connection
💞Teachers can take this moment to practice names at the beginning of the season, to ensure they know and say every student’s name
💞Children LOVE the opportunity to chat! Giving them a chance to talk about what they ate for breakfast that day, or what color mermaid they would be, does wonders for our friends!
💞 This routine teaches students many life lessons, including taking turns, understanding when to talk, and when to listen to others
