Getting To Know You
During this time of the year, it seems like every day we are discovering new things about our students. This unexpectedness can be exciting: learning about passions, skills, and new friendships! In our roles as caregivers and advocates, we may also become aware of emotional, physical, or academic needs. We are constantly getting to know the students in our learning spaces. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the relationship-building we are doing.
