Third grade teacher commits to empowering students every single day

Your “Daily Dose of Uplift” for March 26th:
Katie Booser is a third-grade teacher at Franklin Elementary School in Santa Barbara. Every day, she commits to delivering affirmations to her students such as “I believe in myself,” “I am strong,” and “I am smart.”
“I’ve been doing this same pep talk with my students since I’ve taught 3rd grade,” Booser says. “We start off doing it before every multiplication test, but the best part is that each year, the kids eventually ask to do it at all different times throughout our day,” she told SGN.⁣
Booser says she was inspired by teachers in her life, who taught her how to believe in herself when she found herself struggling with schoolwork.
“As a student myself, I was that anxious kid … I was nervous, especially before testing or like a big exam,” Booser told Fox News. What helped were “I am” statements, she said.
Booser also gives her students journals where they write one “I am” and one “I am grateful for” statement every morning.
