If you are anything like we were, one of our main goals at the beginning of the year was to build positive relationships with our students. We know the countless benefits having positive relationships can have on your students and classroom, so we always did the typical getting-to-know-you activities at the start of the year. However, we needed to find ways to keep those relationships growing with more than just those activities all year long. This is when we began to incorporate surprise and delight. So, in today’s episode, we’re sharing our five easy back-to-school surprise-and-delight ideas that you can use in your classroom this school year.
