What? How does assigned seating build relationships with students? When students know they have a place in your classroom, that knowledge builds on the idea that they belong somewhere. This is one of those simple background strategies that may be particularly effective with students who find that school is a safer place than home. "My seat. My space. My photos. My cubby. My team." All these possessives may be meaningful to your kids—you know, those kids who become "my kids!" You carry them with you in your heart forever—as I do with Will, the "scary" student in my basic English class. He grew up, gave up the motorcycle. (Did I mention the motorcycle? That explains the leather.) He married a niece of one of the teachers. They are living happily ever after.
