Building A Classroom Community

Building a positive classroom community is so important to establish a learning environment that students feel safe in. We are working hard to get to know each other and establishing classroom expectations. We talk about that fact that all learners are unique and add something special to our room. The kids are already learning many things about their peers and getting more comfortable with each other. Here are some pictures of the kids painting their self-portraits that will be up all year long. The portraits turned out great and are proudly on display!
