They place a chalkboard outside as the students walked into school on the first day of school. The chalkboard had the question, "What is your hope?" written on it. And the students wrote whatever came to their mind. Here is the Facebook link:

Their answers were simple and sweet and might make you cry. They were human answers:
- that people will like me
- that I will make new friends
- that my teachers are nice
- that school will feel like home
- to be included
- to do well
It's all about relationships. Students want to feel valued and important. They want their teachers to care about them as people. They want to connect with other's in their classes.
What do you hope?
