I think the topic of your post says it all. We often forget that our students have lives that may not be shared with us that causes disruptions in their learning. Letting our students know that their teacher's life beyond the class has ups and downs is important.
Sounds like you are doing a great job and it is only the end of September.

Thanks for the great comment! I really appreciate it. I agree that the more students see how human you are, the more they will respond to you.
