Classroom Community

I found this blog particularly interesting because it discusses the importance of creating a community within the classroom within the first weeks of school. The example provided is at a higher level of education however, the idea remains the same: within the first weeks of school it is important not only to build a relationship with your students but to build the relationships they have with each other. This is a concept that I feel extends beyond small ice breaker activities and into the realm of more complex tasks students must work together to complete- much like the example provided in this blog.
