    Hmmmm

    I have a similar little girl this year. After two months of school, she's just beginning to become more comfortable in the classroom. Her parents said she's always been this way, too, and they try to get her to lighten up. It doesn't help much though when the tears flow.

    One of the things that I can think of that I do on a regular basis with my students is to identify mistakes...namely, adult mistakes, so they are mostly mine! I make a game out of it and reward students who can find my mistakes, both the honest ones and the ones I deliberatley set up for them to find. I hope that I provide a comfort level so that all the kids are willing to try, even if they are not always correct.
