  When our answers are not correct then, obviously, they need to be corrected but it is quite important that we go through a process of correction that will help students.

We might repeat back what they've said to us in a questioning manner or we may just make a gesture to make sure that they understand that they're not correct.

Even the physical excitement that kindergarteners have can be used to create an even deeper understanding of language and should never be seen as bad.
