Fostering Relationships in the Classroom

Fostering Relationships in the Classroom 

I enjoyed reading this article, because I am always looking for new ways to to establish positive and trusting relationships in the classroom.  I liked how the author mentioned that these activities should be used at later points in the year as students' interests change and as they gain new life experiences. I usually do these activities the first week of school, but never revisit them throughout the year.  This article reminded me that it is not only important to establish trusting relationships, but they need to be fostered and maintained as students grow and change.
