Meaningful Quotes:

There's a process to that, yeah, there's this whole kind of warming up the process and building rapport and getting to know each other. It's the same thing with teaching, you know, you have to first even before I get into all of my fun things, and activities and assignments, even before that you have to begin to build a relationship.

~Natasha Nurse Clarke

You have to build that rapport, you have to build those connections, or you're not gonna have time and kids won't do what you need them to do. 

~Natasha Nurse-Clarke

Okay, so that first step is trying to get them to make that connection with you, then you get them making connections with each other.
