What I have noticed while doing my service-learning is that when it comes to making students feel loved I noticed on my first day that she has a student of the week where each student has an opportunity to make a poster all about them and students get to ask them questions.
She also has it so when it's a student's birthday the class sings to them, they get to tell the class what they are wishing to get for their birthday, and their classmates each write them a birthday wish that they hope that they get, which is then given to them.
When it comes to recognizing students' skills and encourage a positive classroom community she points out what a student has done right to the class and usually gives them class money. Also, to establish a positive relationship she gives each student as many positive and remarks as she can whether it's to the class as a whole, working with a small group, or working one-on-one. She usually puts a lot of focus on what students were able to do whether what they weren't able to do and give them inspiration to try harder and keep doing what they're doing. She will also reinforce her comments by giving students fist bumps, telling them to give themselves a pat on the back, or gives high fives.
