Reflect on what you learned about creating community in your classroom from visitor Sylvia Long.

One of the major things that is reinforced several time throughout the year is to get to truly know your students. I feel that regardless of whether or not I have morning meetings, as a teacher I must create a relationship with each student to know them and earn respect from them. I also liked the "burden" Sylvia placed upon us as students to always try and make them solve their own problems and take accountable actions. I feel that I'm going to be working every day at making the classroom a community because to have a goal like that is going to take time but will definately be worth it.
