My message the week will be short and to the point. I want you all to think about your classroom. Are there students that just will not follow the rules? Do you have structured rules that the students understand? What type of connection do you have with your students? Don't just think about the kids that are easy to love, but those that are the most in need of our love, and those that are the toughest to love.
I am going to share a quote that was shared with me this week that could shed some light onto why we struggle with some of our students. Rules without relationships leads to rebellion while relationships without rules leads to a lack of respect and chaos. If you feel like your classroom can be chaotic or you have students that don't show you respect this could be why. Running a classroom with a fine balance of relationships and rules is challenging, but it is the key to well structured classrooms with the safe and comfortable learning environments.
