They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but just in case that’s not always true, here are just a few words that sum up what these pictures mean to me and my classroom.

Relationships must be fostered between student-teacher, student-student, teacher-parent, and parent-student. There are so many ways to do this: attend student events, team-building activities, reading with each other, conversations, and so much more. Collaboration is built the same way, and students, teachers and parents must also all learn to work together.

I can’t imagine what my classroom would be like without collaboration or relationships.

What are the essentials you have found for running your classroom?
