This strategy is so smart to me. Being in an elementary school and having contact with kids in the hallway all day long, I feel I have a great opportunity to use this a lot. I do not have a specific example, but as students are practicing their skills in the gym, I definitely walk around and have regular conversations with kids. Asking a question about something they did at home or talking about a comparison they have with my own children is very common and they love it. I use many words that are uncommon for them and I love when they ask me what it means.
