Bonding with your Class: Don’t Stop Believin’!

This song used to remind me of high school. Now…

Every time I hear the song “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey,  I think about the 5th/6th grade class I taught two years ago in Redding, California.  Every year, I make it my goal to find a fun and lighthearted way to bond with my class.  I try to find an inside joke, a story, something from pop culture, a book, or anything else that will help unite my students and me.   Two years ago, it would be a song that would identify our class. It started out as our theme song, but soon it became our mantra.
