On one of out first days of social studies we were asked to come to the board and write a few things down about who we were in fifth grade. We walked around the room and saw that we all had some similarities and some differences from one another. We talked about how this shows that everyone has a different background and as teachers we need to know and consider this about our students. Our classrooms are going to be filled with a diverse group of students. It is our job to encourage community and to consider these diversities in creating differentiated instruction. In other words, as teachers we need to know our students and who they are as a person. Building relationships is key in establishing trust and gaining knowledge about our students. As a future teacher, I want to build a classroom community with strong relationship and respect. This can be achieved by embracing diversities and respecting that everyone had their own background and story to tell.
