I hope students learn that relationships are the foundation of everything. Long after they forget how to do the math problems or the dates in history, they will remember the person who made them feel capable. In the classroom, our character speaks louder than our curriculum. We aren't just teaching our students; we are showing our students what it looks like to be a person. It is important to form bonds with them. I get to form some deep bonds with my students as I have them for four years in a row and get to know them and their families very well.
